Dysphagia Lusoria: An Uncommon Cause of Dysphagia

Di Serafino M, Severino R, Lisanti F, Rocca R and Scarano E

Dysphagia is a relatively common and increasingly prevalent clinical problem, with prevalence of nearly 22% in the adult primary care population and of 13.5% in the general population. We report a case of an uncommon type of dysphagia, due to esophagus compression by an abnormal right subclavian retroesophageal artery. This condition was first described by Bayford in 1794 as lusus naturae, meaning a freak or jest of nature, the so called “dysphagia lusoria”.
