Dysphagia lusorum in children.

G R Martin, C Rudolph, C Hillemeier

    American Journal of Diseases of Children (1960)
    |August 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dysphagia lusorum, a swallowing difficulty caused by an aberrant right subclavian artery, can occur in children. Esophageal manometry revealed high pressure, and surgery resolved symptoms in most cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Anomalies
    • Swallowing Disorders

    Background:

    • Dysphagia lusorum, the association between swallowing difficulty and aberrant right subclavian artery, is typically not observed in pediatric populations.
    • This condition presents a diagnostic challenge in children due to its presumed rarity.

    Observation:

    • This study details four pediatric cases presenting with dysphagia lusorum.
    • Esophageal manometry in these children indicated elevated pulsatile pressures (12-100 mm Hg) near the aberrant right subclavian artery.

    Findings:

    • The findings demonstrate that dysphagia lusorum does occur in children.
    • Esophageal manometry is a valuable tool, revealing functional partial obstruction due to increased intraesophageal pressure in symptomatic children.

    Implications:

    • The study challenges the notion that dysphagia lusorum is exclusive to adults.
    • Surgical correction proved effective in resolving symptoms and normalizing esophageal manometry findings in the majority of cases.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing pediatric dysphagia lusorum.
