ABSTRACT
We report a case of an 80-year-old female with dysphagia lusoria caused by oesophageal compression by a right-sided atheromatous aorta. The relationship between aortic root vascular anomalies and dysphagia has been clearly established in literature and can be diagnosed by a barium swallowing study, followed by CT or MRI. Aortic anomalies and variations in aortic branches are caused by embryonic malformations and are mostly described in association with congenital heart lesions. In this pauci-symptomatic patient, the preferred treatment is a conservative management.
