Abstract
Left pulmonary artery sling (LPAS) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly and is commonly associated with complete tracheal rings and various degrees of tracheobronchial compression. We present a very rare association of LPAS and congenital eventration of right hemidiaphragm in this case report.
