Abstract
We report the first case of dysphagia due to engorgement of a congenital va scular ring as a result of the haemodynamic changes of pregnancy. The clini cian should be aware of this in the differential diagnosis. Spontaneous rec overy may occur six months post partum as the haemodynamic changes resolve, but if further pregnancies are planned surgery is effective.
