case_images: A 67-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension was admitted to the neurointensive care unit (NICU) with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH; Figure 1), causing a dysphasia and right-sided hemiparesis. Brain computed tomography angiography (CTA) did not show vessel pathology (Figure 1).

case_images: X-ray of the lungs (Figure 2) showed a broad disfigured shadow of the anterior mediastinum on the base of the lusoria artery and signs of aspiration pneumonia. Retro-esophageal dysphagia lusoria was confirmed by spiral CTA, where the aberrant artery lusoria was compressing the esophagus (Figure 2).
