A rare congenital heart defect, right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery, caused adult-onset dysphagia and shortness of breath. Delayed diagnosis highlights the need to consider congenital anomalies in adults with these symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Diagnostics
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Congenital aortic arch anomalies are rare but can present with significant morbidity in adulthood.
  • A right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery is a specific type of vascular anomaly with unique embryological origins.

Observation:

  • A case of a patient experiencing progressive dysphagia and shortness of breath is presented.
  • Symptoms became clinically significant in adulthood, leading to a diagnostic delay.

Findings:

  • The patient's condition was attributed to a right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery.
  • Diagnostic delay occurred because the congenital anomaly was not initially suspected in an adult patient presenting with dysphagia.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering congenital aortic arch anomalies in the differential diagnosis of adult-onset dysphagia and respiratory symptoms.
  • Early recognition and diagnosis of such anomalies are crucial for timely and effective management, preventing potential complications.
