Abstract
The Ring-Sling Complex is an uncommon, congenital vascular and tracheobronc hial malformation with a persistent high death rate. We report three patien ts in whom computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) we re used for the preoperative diagnosis and for staging of the morphologic t racheal and vascular anomalies.
