S2298 Dysphagia Lusoria Secondary to an Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery

Abstract

Introduction: Dysphagia lusoria, also known as Bayford-Autenrieth dysphagia, is a rare condition with prevalence of approximately 0.5%. First reported by David Bayford in 1790, it is defined as dysphagia secondary to extrinsic compression of the esophagus as a result of congenital abnormality of the aortic arch and its branches. We report a case of Dysphagia lusoria in a patient with congenital heart syndrome. Case Description/Methods: A 36-year-old woman with history of Dysphagia lusoria secondary to an aberrant left subclavian artery (SCA), congenital heart syndrome with known right sided thoracic aorta, tricuspid atresia and stenosis, hypoplastic right ventricle, and aberrant left SCA presented to the hospital with worsening dysphagia. She reported vomiting with any solid foods and only tolerating pureed foods
