Previously undiagnosed congenital vascular ring presenting as dysphagia in a six-week post-partum female
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2006
Abstract
We report the first case of dysphagia due to engorgement of a congenital vascular ring as a result of the haemodynamic changes of pregnancy. The clinician should be aware of this in the differential diagnosis.Spontaneous recovery may occur six months post partum as the haemodynamic changes resolve, but if further pregnancies are planned surgery is effective.
