Tracheal compression by a normal aorta associated with right lung agenesis

TL McCormick and LR Kuhns

A case of tracheal compression by a normal aorta deviated to the right with a shift of the heart due to right lung agenesis is presented. The condition was diagnosed by chest fluoroscopy and corrected surgically. The increased mortality associated with right versus left lung agenesis may be due to tracheal compression by a normal aorta in some cases.
