ABSTRACT

Background: dysphagia by aberrant right subclavian artery or lusoria dysphagia is an uncommon cause of this symptom. However, its identification and appropriate surgical treatment allows the solution of this alteration and the benefits in the well-being of the patient. Objective: to describe a rare case of dysphagia caused by a rare congenital malformation of the aortic arch where the right subclavian artery originates outside the brachiocephalic trunk, rarer even in this case where it coincides with the presence of a common bicaroid trunk. Clinical case: a case of laryngeal dysphagia is presented by an aberrant right subclavian artery accompanied by a common bicaroid trunk, a 43-year-old male patient with a much less frequent association with this aortic arch abnormality. Conclusions: compression of the esophagus by aberrant subclavian artery is a very rare cause of dysphagia, and even rarer is its association with a bicaroid trunk. The diagnosis of lusoria dysphagia was established and the patient was referred to the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital for surgical treatment.
