Figure 1 An esophagram shows esophageal narrowing due to external compression (arrow). The American Journal of Medicine 2011 124, 921-923DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2011.02.006) Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 2 Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the chest shows the aberrant right subclavian artery. (A) A coronal projection discloses the anatomy of the aberrant right subclavian artery (arrow). (B) The origin of the aberrant right subclavian artery is indicated (arrow). (C) Compression of the esophagus is evident (arrow). (D) The aberrant artery and the esophagus (arrow) are shown; the short black-filled arrow points indicate the common carotid origin. (E) The common carotid arteries, as highlighted by the short arrows, arise from the common fork.
