Abstract :

 Dysphagia aortica is a rare cause of dysphagia. It is a mechanical dysphagia caused by compression of the esophagus by the dilated aorta. It occurs most commonly in elderly women with short stature, hypertension and kyphosis. Here we are presenting a case of dysphagia aortica in a 56 yrs old male patient , a rare occurance. Chest computed tomography showed compression of the esophagus by a dilated thoracic aortic aneurysm. Extrinsic compression of the esophagus by the thoracic aorta was also shown in the barium swallow test.
