X-ray of the lungs (Figure 2) showed a broad disfigured shadow of the anterior mediastinum on the base of the lusoria artery and signs of aspiration pneumonia. Retro-esophageal dysphagia lusoria was confirmed by spiral CTA, where the aberrant artery lusoria was compressing the esophagus (Figure 2).
