Abstract:
Aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare cause of dysphagia. This is a congenital anomaly with the right
subclavian artery originating from the dorsal part of the aortic arch and coursing through the mediastinum
between the esophagus and the vertebral column. We report a case of a patient with chronic dysphagia
caused by this condition. We further discuss the case with regards to its clinical features and options of
management.
