AB Vascular  compression  syndromes  are  often  collectively  referred  to  as  vascular  rings  and  slings,  but  this  characterization  does  not  represent  the  true  diversity  of  the  group  of  conditions.Compromise  of  the  trachea  and/or  esophagus  in  the  upper  mediastinum  by  adjacent  vascular  structures  is  a  common  feature  of  vascular  compression  syndromes.Because  of  this  shared  feature,  vascular  compression  syndromes  often  present  with  similar  clinical  pictures  of  stridor  and/or  dysphagia  and  their  diagnostic  evaluation  relies  on  similar  strategies.The  developmental  embryology  of  vascular  compression  syndromes  is  quite  different,  however,  and  this  may  influence  the  presence  or  absence  of  associated  anomalies  and  cause  treatment  strategies  to  differ  dramatically.
