Compression of the esophagus by an aberrant anomalous subclavian artery is usually a finding, and the presence of symptoms is rare. In children, sacrificing said artery can cause hypotrophy of the thoracic limb. We present the case of a 6-year-old female patient with Turner syndrome and dysphagia lusoria, which was resolved with a double approach anastomosing the subclavian artery to the right carotid artery. We consider this approach is safe without compromising the arterial flow of the thoracic member and resolving the digestive symptomatology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
