Imaging findings
Chest radiograph revealed opacification of the retrotracheal space (Raider’s triangle) and anterior displacement of the trachea. CT confirmed significant esophageal dilation causing mass effect.
Key takeaways
Large esophageal dilatations can cause dramatic displacement of the trachea and mimic mediastinal masses on standard radiographs.
