Abstract :
Double aortic arch with patent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defect is an ncommon association. Such complex cardiac lesions may complicate an otherwise normal anesthetic ourse. We came across a case with aqueductal stenosis and hydrocephalus, scheduled for entriculoperitoneal shunt surgery, on an emergent basis. The child was managed successfully. The nesthetic mplications of resultant left-to-right shunt with increased intracranial pressure have been described.
