Tracheal compression by the innominate artery is frequently suspected in infants with noisy breathing and no obvious aortic arch anomalies o r pulmonary artery sling. However the diagnosis is difficult to confir m. The findings after using magnetic resonance imaging in two infants with tracheal compression syndrome are presented.
