- Abstract
Dysphagia that develops in the late period due to vascular compression of the esophagus is a rare condition and is known as dysphagia lusoria. The arterial developmental anomalies that occur during embryological development of the branchial arch system are shown as the cause. Most of the cases are asymptomatic, but in 30-40% of the cases, tracheoesophageal symptoms occur. Dysphagia lusoria is diagnosed using barium fluoroscopic examinations and computed tomography. Manometric findings are variable, and age-related esophageal motility changes may contribute to the diagnosis of dysphagia lusoria. In this case report, we aimed to present a case of late-onset dysphagia due to the aberrant right subclavian artery. The patient had dysphagia against solid foods, and the symptoms were controlled with diet modification without the need for surgery.
