Recurrent Wheezing and Cough Caused by Double Aortic Arch, Not Asthma.

ABSTRACT: Double aortic arch is a congenital vascular abnormality in which the connected segments and their branches course between and compress the trachea and esophagus, often resulting in invariable airway compression.A 4-year-old boy with a history of recurrent wheezing was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of asthma based on his past medical history, persistent cough, wheezing, and airway hyperresponsiveness by lung function test. Double aortic arch was diagnosed with computed tomography angiogram. After surgery, the respiratory infection improved strikingly. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent chronic, irreversible complications.We present a case of double aortic arch masquerading as asthma.

Double aortic arch with double aneuploidy--rare anomaly in combined Down and Klinefelter syndrome.

Project description:A 14-month-old boy with double aneuploidy and a double aortic arch suffered from frequently recurrent severe feeding and respiratory problems. Chromosomal analysis showed a 48,XXY + 21 karyotype: a double aneuploidy of Down syndrome (DS) and Klinefelter syndrome (KS). Only four cases of double aneuploidy (DS + KS) associated with congenital heart defects have been published of which none had a double aortic arch. Our case report should draw attention to the possibility of a double aortic arch in patients with severe feeding and respiratory problems and a double aneuploidy.

Management of Preschool Children with Recurrent Wheezing: Lessons from the NHLBI's Asthma Research Networks.

Project description:Recurrent wheezing in the preschool children is a common clinical problem, often associated with significant morbidity related to acute episodes. The management of these children has been complicated by a paucity of high-quality clinical trials in this age group. To fill this knowledge gap, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's asthma research networks have performed a series of clinical trials in an effort to provide practitioners with guidance on appropriate management strategies. These studies establish daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy in toddlers at high risk for subsequent asthma as an effective approach for the prevention of exacerbations and symptom reduction, but without evidence of disease-modifying properties. Additional studies have confirmed substantial heterogeneity in ICS response, in terms of both efficacy and effect on linear growth. Treatment with intermittent high-dose ICS was demonstrated to be an alternative approach to daily low-dose ICS for preventing severe exacerbations in toddlers with intermittent but significant wheeze and a positive modified asthma predictive index. This review details the findings and clinical implications derived from these studies, discuss the utility of biomarkers and the role of oral corticosteroids during acute exacerbations, and summarizes ongoing clinical trials in this age group.

Double vascular ring: a case report of double aortic arch and concurrent pulmonary artery sling.

Project description:Double aortic arch (DAA) and pulmonary artery sling (PAS) are vascular ring formations that present in neonates and infants with symptoms of respiratory stenosis. The patient was a girl with suspected ventricular septal defect (VSD), right aortic arch (AA), left patent ductus arteriosus, and bilateral superior vena cava (SVC) on foetal echography in the first day of life. The girl was delivered at 40 weeks and 4 days of gestation. Ventricular septal defect, DAA, coarctation of the left AA, and bilateral SVC were diagnosed. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography at Day 16 revealed PAS with concurrent anomalous tracheal branching in addition to DAA. The right A2 segmental artery, which supplies the right upper pulmonary artery, showed abnormal branching from the left pulmonary artery (LPA). At 3 months of age, VSD patching, left AA resection distal to the root of the left subclavian artery, arterial ligament dissection, and LPA replacement were performed. Pulmonary artery sling coexists with anomalous branching of the trachea and abnormal branching of the right pulmonary artery (RPA). Our patient had an extremely rare case of DAA concurrent with PAS and presented with anomalous tracheal and RPA branching. We were concerned that increased pulmonary blood flow caused by the VSD would exacerbate tracheal displacement. Radical surgery at 3 months of age resulted in good postoperative progress.

The impact of COVID-19 lockdown on children with recurrent wheezing and asthma in Spain.

Project description:AimThe rapid spread of a novel human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 led to drastic measures world-wide. Most countries were forced to declare a national lockdown. We studied the effect of lockdown measures on the level of asthma control and maintenance treatment in children with recurrent wheezing and asthma during the first wave of COVID-19 in Spain.MethodsWe analysed children with recurrent wheezing or asthma before and after the implementation of the lockdown, by using a questionnaire aimed to examine pre-existing respiratory disorders, step treatment and level of asthma control before/after lockdown, COVID history and laboratory testing including IgG SARS-CoV-2.ResultsWe enrolled 475 asthmatic and pre-school wheezers (60.6% males), mean age 5.6 years. There were no differences in asthma treatment comparing both periods: 81.7% maintained the same treatment (P = 0.103). According to child asthma-control questionnaire, 87.7% remained well controlled during confinement. Nearly, a third of children (34.9%) needed reliever treatment, mainly in older children. Determination of IgG SARS-CoV-2 was performed in 233 children (49.1%) of whom 17 (7.3%) tested positive. Seven patients positive to IgG SARS-CoV-2 were assisted in the emergency department and two required hospital admission.ConclusionsDuring COVID-19 lockdown in Spain, most children with recurrent wheezing and asthma remained well controlled from their underlying disease and did not modify greatly their maintenance treatments. Unexpectedly, we also observed that those children who tested positive to SARS-CoV-2 IgG showed a significant increase in paediatric hospital admissions and attendances to urgent care settings.

Esophageal cancer with a double aortic arch: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundDouble aortic arch (DAA) is an extremely rare vascular malformation, even more so when coexisting with esophageal cancer.MethodsWe report a new case of DAA with esophageal cancer recently seen at our Thoracic Tumor Clinic and review cases of DAA coexisting with esophageal cancer reported in the literature of English language from 2010 to 2020. The purposes of our literature review were to explore how to best achieve radical esophagectomy while reducing postoperative complications. The clinical manifestations, diagnostic method, surgical approach, reconstruction route, and the extent of lymphadenectomy of esophageal cancer with DAA were analyzed in detail.Results and conclusionFor such patients, 3D computed tomography is necessary for preoperative diagnosis. The surgical approach should consider factors such as the location of the tumor in the esophagus and whether the tumor is surrounded by DAA, as well as the position of the descending aorta and the requirements for the surgical field for lymphadenectomy. If esophageal reconstruction is required, the retrosternal route is preferred. We recommend that only patients with positive results of intraoperative frozen biopsy of recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes should undergo three-field lymphadenectomy, which may be the best method to achieve radical esophagectomy for middle and lower esophageal cancers with DAA while minimizing postoperative complications.
