A boy 6 years old known case of cobalamin c disease admitted to ICU due to stridor and respiratory distress. ENT referral done to assess the upper airway and to rule out any cause of upper airway obstruction. Endoscopic examination was normal. CT scan chest with contrast ordered, and showing innominate artery compressing the trachea. This case reported to high light the possibility of this rare situation. We have to put this possibility in mind during the differential diagnosis of stridor causes especially if no clear cause is there.
