Abstract :
Aberrant right subclavian artery, also known as arteria lusoria, is one of the most common aortic arch anomalies. Even though it is considered to be one of the commonest anatomical variations its estimated incidence is 0.5-1.8% [1]. In 1761, David Byaford, accidentally discovered this developmental anomaly in a post mortem study of a 62 years old patient who suffered prolonged dysphagia of unknown cause, therefore coining the term "dysphagia lusoria".
