Abstract
Dysphagia aortica is an unusual cause of dysphagia. Diagnosis of this condition is usually based on chest radiography, barium esophagogram, chest computed tomography, endoscopy, and aortography. We report a case of dysphagia aortica who was successfully diagnosed using endoscopic ultrasonography and treated with life style modification and medications.
