Investigations revealed that this patient actually has a congenital anomaly with an arch an-
        eurysm leading into an aberrant right subclavian artery.  The origin of the right subclavian is
        dilated into a KOMMERELL’s DIVERTICULUM.  The artery travels a retro-esophageal course and
        can cause compression of the trachea and esophagus, or Dysphagia Lusoria.
                                                                                                               41
