Abstract
Neuhauser syndrome is a rare vascular anomaly characterized by the esophagus and trachea circling via the ligamentum arteriosum and right aortic arch. Kommerell’s diverticulum have the same characteristic by an outpouch at the onset of an aberrant left subclavian artery worsening this compression. The association between these pathologies is very rare and the operative strategy is unclear. We describe a case with the association with a computed tomography scanner aortic reconstruction and a repair’s operative strategy.
