A young kitten was presented with regurgitation of food at weaning. Episodes of respiratory distress and cyanosis were also present. The cause of food regurgitation was a perioesophageal vascular ring caused by left descending aorta and a right ligamentum arteriosum. This type of vascular ring has not previously been described. There was also anomalous development of the right subclavian artery and a large ventricular septal defect. The respiratory distress and cyanosis was most probably caused by a combination of tracheal compression by the vascular ring and a polycythaemia associated with the ventricular septal defect. Surgical correction was not attempted.
一只幼猫在断奶时出现食物反流。同时还伴有呼吸窘迫和发绀症状。食物反流的原因是左降主动脉和右动脉韧带形成的食管周围血管环。此前尚未描述过这种类型的血管环。此外，还存在右锁骨下动脉发育异常和大型室间隔缺损。呼吸窘迫和发绀很可能是由血管环对气管的压迫以及与室间隔缺损相关的红细胞增多症共同引起的。未尝试进行手术矫正。
