Abstract
We report on the problems of diagnosis and surgical technique from the stan dpoint of mediastinal anatomy in patients with esophageal dancer and right aortic arch associated with a vascular ring. We propose that left thoracoto my plus sternotomy is the best approach to allow visualization of the bilat eral recurrent laryngeal nerves.
