A 3-month-old infant with failure to thrive was found on bronchoscopy to have tracheal obstruction thought to be secondary to innominate artery compression. Subsequent diagnostic evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging revealed superior and posterior extension of the thymus with resultant compression of the innominate artery and trachea within the narrow confines of the thoracic inlet. Resection of the aberrantly positioned and enlarged thymus and aortopexy resulted in relief of tracheal compression.
一名3个月大发育不良的婴儿在支气管镜检查时发现有气管阻塞,推测是由无名动脉受压继发引起的。随后的磁共振成像诊断评估显示胸腺向上和向后延伸,导致在胸廓入口的狭窄范围内无名动脉和气管受压。切除位置异常且肿大的胸腺并行主动脉固定术缓解了气管压迫。
