Özet
Innominate artery compression syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly. The condition is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with noisy breathing, a barky cough, and expiratory stridor. Here we report a case of Innominate Artery syndrome that presented with persistent and /or biphasic stridor in a 3-month-old. This case provides us to highlights the importance of unequivocally identifying the vascular anomalies and to emphasize once again the importance of detailed history and observing/hearing of the breathing during the examination.
