ABSTRACT
Dysphagia, characterized by abnormal swallowing, presents as oropharyngeal or esophageal dysphagia. Dysphagia aortica, a rare manifestation, results from external aortic compression, leading to swallowing difficulties. Limited literature exists on this condition. We report a 22-year-old male with a complex surgical history, including aortic repairs, who presented with dysphagia and chest pain. Extensive evaluations ruled out other causes. Imaging revealed esophageal compression by an aortic graft. Endoscopy confirmed extrinsic compression. A barium swallow study was unremarkable. A diagnosis of dysphagia aortica was made, and conservative treatment was initiated. Dysphagia aortica remains a rare but noteworthy cause of dysphagia with this case highlighting the importance of considering vascular compression in patients with previous history of aortic surgery. Increased clinical awareness is essential for timely diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies. Further research is needed to establish guidelines for managing this condition, given its diverse causes.
