Dysphagia is commonly seen in the elderly and has both benign and malignant causes. A difficulty in swallowing due to the esophageal compression by the aorta, or dysphagia aortica, is a rare entity, little described in literature. However, diagnostic error or diagnostic and treatment delays of aortic dysphagia can be fatal. Herein, we report a case of dysphagia aortica caused by the contained rupture of a descending aneurysmatic thoracic aorta, presenting at the emergency department with acute dysphagia and diffuse chest pain, successfully treated by thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair.
