Dysphagia due to aortic diverticulum: an adult surgical case.

چکیده
A right aortic arch is an anatomic variant only occurring in approximately 0.1% of the population. A mirror-image right artic arch without congenital cardiac anomaly is fairly uncommon. We report on a rare case of dysphagia due to isolated aortic diverticulum in a mirror-image right aortic arch. A 72-year-old man presented with dysphagia which was due to posterior compression of the esophagus by a dilated aortic diverticulum. There was no vascular ring and we thought that the pathology was atherosclerotic dilatation of the diverticulum. Graft replacement of the diverticulum was sufficient to relieve his symptom.

SUMMARY Tracheal and esophageal compression is a well-recognized complication of aneurysms of the aortic arch. Most of the patients present with dysphagia and/or respiratory insufficiency. In the adult population a right-sided aortic arch is often asymptomatic unless aneurysmal disease develops. This usually occurs at the level of the take-off of an aberrant left subclavian artery and is known ...
