ABSTRACT
The authors present a case of a two-year-old boy with stridor since birth, and also recurrent episodes of pulmonary infections, due to mechanical compression of distal trachea by a left pulmonary artery sling. They discussed diagnostic approach, surgical management and review of the literature. To our knowledge, it is the first case of sling of the pulmonary artery reported in Brazil and the fifth in a latin language country.
