AIM:Late unset of dysphagia due to vascular abnormalitiesis a rare condition.We aimed to present a case of rightsubclavian artery abnormalities caused dysphagia in theelderly.METHODS:A 68-year-old female was admitted withdysphagia seven months ago.Upper endoscopic proceduresand routine examinations could not demonstrate anyetiology.Multislice computed thorax tomography wasperformed for probable extra-esophagial lesions.RESULTS:Multislice computed thorax tomography showedright subclavian artery abnormality and esophagialcompression with this aberrant artery.CONCLUSION:Causes of dysphagia in the elderly arecommonly malignancies,strictures and/or motilitydisorders.If routine examinations and endoscopicprocedures fail to show any etiology,rare vascularabnormalities can be considered in such patients.Multislicecomputed tomography is a usefull choice in such conditions.

METHODS: A 68-year-old female was admitted with dysphagia seven months ago .Upper endoscopic procedures and routine examinations could not demonstrate any etiology. Multislice computed thorax tomography wasperformed for probable extra-esophagial lesions. RESULTS: Multislice computed thorax tomography showedright subclavian artery abnormality and esophagialcompression with this aberrant artery. CONCLUSION: Causes of dysphagia in the elderly are comly malignancies, strictures and / or motility disorders .If routine examinations and endoscopic procedures fail to show any etiology, rare vascularabnormalities can be considered in such patients. Multislicecomputed tomography is a usefull choice in such conditions.
