Abstract
Ductusarteriosus aneurysm (DAA) is a rare congenital anomaly diagnosed within the first two months infancy usually and less frequently in the third trimester antenatally. It accounts for about 5 of all thoracic aneurysms. When symptomatic, they often mimic other nonvascular conditions, presenting with hoarseness, chest pain, recurrent nerve palsy, or recurrent pulmonary infections. Here we present a rare manifestation of ductaldiverticulum aneurysm compressing the descending thoracic aorta externally which lead to coarctation of aorta with significant pressure gradient between pre and post coarctationsegment and hoarseness of voice
