ABSTRACT
Dysphagia is the most common symptom in symptomatic patients with aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) and also the risk factor of aspiration, especially in elderly patients. We presented an 84 year-old female patient with dysphagia induced by the compression of ARSA to the adjacent structures. Recurrent pneumonia and bibasilar bronchiectasis were recorded in the association with ARSA. We concluded that elderly patient with ARSA should be evaluated the pulmonary complications such as aspiration pneumonia and bronchiectasis.
