Description

We report a case of a 23-year-old female, with a complaint of dysphagia for solid food in the past one mouth. A barium oesophagography when done showed, in the upper third of the thorax, the presence of a linear extrinsic compression in the posterior wall, running cephalad from the left to the right. The diagnosis of dysphagia lusoria was proposed.
