Abstract
Esophageal dysphagia is caused by either motility disorders or intraluminal and extraluminal obstructing pathologies of the esophagus. Mediastinal vascular anomalies are often the rare causes of swallowing difficulty and can be missed in diagnosis. The most frequently observed mediastinal vascular anomaly is the right arcus aorta. Chest x-ray, thorax CT or MR is useful in the diagnosis.
Keywords: Dysphagia; esophagus; Right Arcus Aorta
