Summary:A 2-month-old baby boy, who had noisy breathing since birth that increased in volume during feeding and times of agitation, was referred to our unit for assessment (video). [...]the left pulmonary artery had an anomalous course (figure): a CT angiogram showed the left pulmonary artery originated from the right pulmonary artery—confirming the suspected diagnosis of a pulmonary artery sling (figure; appendix). Congenital stridor—a sign of upper airway obstruction—results from several conditions including laryngomalacia, vocal cord paralysis, and laryngeal webs.
