Dysphagia lusoria is a rare condition, with a prevalence of less than 1%, that occurs through secondary compression of the esophagus posteriorly by an aberrant right subclavian artery. It commonly presents with dysphagia to solids. Management is usually done with dietary modification; however, more severe and intractable cases may require surgical intervention. We describe this rare vascular anomaly in a 54-year-old female presenting with mechanical dysphagia.
