    We report a case of left pulmonary artery sling in a child who also had duodenal atresia. He was admitted for respiratory failure requiring prolonged respiratory support due to a bronchiolitis-like illness at two months of age. Diagnostic procedures confirmed the presence of left pulmonary artery sling. He had a corrective procedure which relieved the compression. However postoperatively he had intermittent episodes of severe bronchospasm in addition to a persistent airway obstruction. Finally one such episode of severe bronchospasm did not respond to medical and resuscitative therapy and the baby succumbed. To our knowledge no case of left pulmonary artery sling has been described previously in a Malaysian child. This case also highlights the postoperative airway problems that may be encountered.

    A case of severe bronchospasm occurring during epidural anaesthesia in a patient undergoing Caesarean section is described. The aetiology of the bronchospasm may have been related to sympathetic nervous blockade allowing unopposed parasympathetically mediated bronchoconstriction.
