Abstract
The aberrant right subclavian artery (i.e., arteria lusoria) arising from the left part of the aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly. In some patients, esophageal compression may cause symptoms of dysphagia, also called dysphagia lusoria. It can cause serious feeding disorders and poor weight gain in young children. We present the case of an early onset of dysphagia lusoria in a 1-month-old girl whose clinical diagnosis was confirmed by esophagography and magnetic resonance imaging. This kind of vascular anomaly can present a diagnostic challenge and should be considered in diagnosing dysphagia in childhood.
