Patients with dysphagia often have an esophageal disorder. This case report describes a patient with persistent dysphagia and chest pain who had a normal esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Computed tomography of the chest with contrast revealed an aberrant right subclavian artery compressing the esophagus. A vascular procedure was performed and corrected the dysphagia. This case demonstrates that aberrant vessels can occasionally cause dysphagia.
