Pulmonary artery sling is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that results in the abnormal development of the left pulmonary artery. This case report describes a one-year-old male patient with a history of respiratory issues who was initially treated for suspected infantile asthma. However, further investigation revealed a diagnosis of pulmonary artery sling, a rare congenital vascular anomaly that can cause airway and esophageal compression. The patient underwent surgical treatment to correct the abnormality. This case emphasizes the importance of considering pulmonary artery sling as a potential diagnosis in patients with respiratory symptoms and highlights the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential complications.
