Dysphagia aortica is a swallowing condition caused by external compression of the esophagus due to aortic aneurysm or atherosclerotic changes affecting the aorta. The case report on this rare cause of dysphagia should contribute to better diagnosis of dysphagia aortica and swallowing difficulties in general. ⋯ Aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a very rare cause of dysphagia. Mild to moderate symptoms can be in great disproportion with the severe condition which causes them.
