Abstract
We present a case of a 10-month-old girl baby with pulmonary artery sling and bridging bronchus demonstrated using multidetector computed tomography with a three-dimensional volume-rendering display and minimum intensity projections. To the best of our knowledge, this method has been helpful not only in the diagnosis and surgical planning for this rare abnormality but also in the evaluation of prognosis. After pulmonary artery reimplantation, the patient was well and discharged.Entities:
