Abstract
We report a rare case of double aortic arch with a hypoplastic right d orsal arch segment, which was also associated with tetralogy of Fallot . Accurate characterization of the hypoplastic right arch segment by M RI preoperatively determined the optimal surgical approach to releasin g the symptomatic vascular ring. MRI was also useful in assessing and monitoring associated tracheomalacia.
