Introduction Dysphagia is a risk factor for aspiration pneumonia and acute respiratory failure in acute stroke patients. Dysphagia lusoria is caused by compression on the esophagus from artery lusoria, when the aberrant right subclavian artery arises from the descending aortic arch. We present a rare case report of pre-stroke undiagnosed dysphagia lusoria as a cause of aspiration pneumonia with...

The right colon is supplied from the superior mesenteric artery through the following arteries: ileocolic artery (arteria ileo-colica), right colic artery (arteria colica dextra) and middle colic artery ...

CASE OUTLINE We report the case of a 48-year-old man suffering from acute ...

Figura 1 Angio-TC torácica con reconstrucción VR-3D, visión posterosuperior. En esta imagen podemos observar un arco aórtico completo, con origen independiente de los troncos supraaórticos: en el arco izquierdo, ligeramente de mayor calibre, se originan la arteria carótida y subclavia izquierdas y en el arco derecho, la arteria carótida, vertebral y subclavia derechas. AAo: ascending aorta (aor...
