Abstract
- Dysphagia is a common condition in clinical practice; however, an unusual type of dysphagia due to compression of the esophagus by an abnormal right subclavian artery may be discovered in a rare subset of patients. The prognosis and treatment will depend on the severity of the symptoms and the compromise of surrounding structures. We present the case of an 18-year-old female who presented with gradually progressive dysphagia. At first, it was treated as gastroesophageal reflux disease; nonetheless, the dysphagia became severe, and after a thorough evaluation, an aberrant right subclavian artery that compressed the esophagus was discovered along with a truncus bicaroticus. She was successfully treated with surgery without any complications. On follow-ups, she's doing well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
