Presentation
Mild dysphagia.
Patient Data
Aberrant arterial branch arising from the aortic arch distal to the left subclavian artery, coursing behind both trachea and esophagus in keeping with an aberrant right subclavian artery.
Left atrial and ventricular hypertrophy with marked calcification of the aortic valve and probably aortic valve stenosis.
Thoracic scoliosis of left-sided convexity with degenerative changes of the thoracic spine.
Case Discussion
CT features of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), also known as arteria lusoria, in a patient with a dysphagia lusoria.
Aberrant right subclavian arteries (ARSA) are among the commonest aortic arch anomalies.
