ABSTRACT
A 64-year-old man presented with prolonged history of intermittent dysphagia with sensation of food sticking at his upper chest. Physical examination was unremarkable, and an upper endoscopy did not reveal the underlying cause. On computed tomography scan of thorax, an aberrant right subclavian artery was seen coursing posterior to the esophagus resulting in external compression, which is a typical radiological feature of Dysphagia Lusoria. The pathophysiology, clinical features, imaging features and updated treatment modalities of this rare disease are discussed.
