Summary A fatal case of an infant with a combination of two vascular rings is described. One ring consisted of a right‐sided aortic arch, aberrant left subclavian artery and persistent ductus arteriosus, the other of an anomalous left pulmonary artery branched off from the right pulmonary artery. The importance of a properly performed roentgen examination of the oesophagus is stressed.
