We report on a 1‐month‐old boy who presented with a “horseshoe” lung, complete “O” rings of the trachea, and an unusual course of the left pulmonary artery mimicking a left pulmonary artery sling. Computed tomography, cardiac catheterization, and bronchoscopy were performed to confirm the rare coexistence of these anomalies. To our knowledge, such a combination of anomalies has not been reported in the English‐language literature. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2002; 34:402–404. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
