The presence of refractory and localized wheezing in a single area of auscultation in adults, especially if they are accompanied by spirometric and radiological abnormalities, are often the clinical expression of a condition that requires a deeper diagnostic process, beyond the easy diagnosis of asthma. Among these abnormalities are vascular rings such as Kommerell¨s diverticulum, which is a very low prevalence variant and it is characterized by the presence of a right aortic arch with an aberrant exit from the left subclavian artery and that causes symptoms due to compression of the adjacent structures. In this clinical case, we provide the diagnosis process of one of these incidental findings, such as the presence of localized wheezing in a young asyntomatic patient with altered spirometry that could lead us to suspect the presence of bronchomalacia, foreign body aspiration, an infection, tumor or vascular ring that went unnoticed until adulthood.
