Dysphagia lusoria presenting as epigastric pain

Description

A 36-year-old African–American woman with medical history of systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, protein S deficiency and recurrent deep venous thrombosis presented to outpatient clinic complaining of epigastric pain associated with nausea, vomiting and unintentional weight loss. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed; however, mucosal tear was noted following severe retching. Subsequently, the procedure was terminated. EGD was significant for distal oesophageal obstruction. CT of the chest with contrast was significant for pneumomediastinum. Moreover it demonstrated an aberrant right subclavian artery compressing on the posterior part of the oesophagus (figure 1). The patient was diagnosed with dysphagia lusoria. This patient's symptoms were moderate and managed with dietary modifications. Thus, surgical intervention was not recommended. There was no further progression of symptoms at 1-year follow-up.
