Abstract
A 50-year-old woman referred to our internal medicine clinic complaining of recurrent solid food dysphagia at her upper-middle chest for a year. The patient’s history and laboratory test results were unremarkable. BE revealed a narrowing at the level of aortic arch depending on extrinsic compression. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy confirmed a pulsatile extrinsic compression to esophagus. Unenhanced chest CT image showed the aberrant right subclavian artery origin from aortic arch and demonstrated esophageal compression.
