(ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 25, September 2008) 22q11 deletion, isolated subclavian artery, pulmonary artery sling Anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) arising from the right pulmonary artery (RPA), pulmonary artery sling, is a rare but serious congenital anomaly. Affected infants generally present with respiratory distress and feeding problems during the early infancy. This anomaly can be associated with other cardiac defects, including tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), and echocardiography can provide an accurate diagnosis. 1,2 Right aortic arch with isolation of branchiocephalic vessels is also relatively uncommon. This anomaly includes isolated left subclavian artery (LSCA), the left common carotid artery or the left innominate artery. Herein we present a case of a 1-week-old male neonate with TOF, right aortic arch, and 22q11 deletion syndrome. Typical imaging of anomalous origin of the LPA from the RPA and coursing posteriorly and leftward in the parasternal short-axis plane was detected by transthoracic echocardiography. The main pulmonary artery (MPA) did not bifurcate in the usual location . Although there were no vascular slingrelated symptoms, such as respiratory distress or feeding problems in this patient, multidetec-
