Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2004
Dysphagia is a common complaint that always warrants investigation. The patient's history and preliminary testing can help differentiate between the two types of dysphagia: oropharyngeal or esophageal. Specific treatments for either of these types of dysphagia depend on the underlying etiology.

The term dysphagia is defined as difficulty in swallowing and originates from the Greek words dys, with difficulty, and phagia, to eat. Dysphagia should be distinguished from ‘odynophagia’ or painful swallowing, although both may appear together. Dysphagia is a distressing symptom and can have serious effects on a patient's health.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2022
Feeding difficulty is common in the pediatric population, particularly in at-risk infants, such as those born prematurely. Appropriate work-up should involve a multidisciplinary team and may commonly use modified barium swallow and flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallow, in addition to history and physical examination. Structural causes of dysphagia

Swallowing is one of the primary functions that enable humans to sustain life. Likewise, it is an important element of healthy life and contributes to quality of life and well-being. When the ability to swallow is lost or impaired, the risk of disability or even death is greatly increased.

Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, has significant impacts on patients' quality of life. A thorough history and physical examination can provide important information to determine if dysphagia is originating from oropharyngeal or esophageal causes.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2013
Feeding and swallowing disorders in the pediatric population are becoming more common, particularly in infants born prematurely and in children with chronic medical conditions. The normal swallowing mechanism is divided into 4 stages: the preparatory, the oral, the pharyngeal, and the esophageal phases.

A 58 year old man presented with a six week history of muscle weakness, dysphagia, and a symmetrical widespread rash on the face, torso, limbs, and hands (fig 1). His creatine kinase was 7070 u/L (reference range 30-175). An oesophagogastroduodenoscopy showed abnormal findings, and a positron emission computed tomography (PET CT) scan was arranged (fig

A tortuous thoracic aorta is common in the elderly, often displacing the esophagus without causing organic obstruction. The potential for this complication is present, and a case is reported which required surgical relief of this problem.

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2005
Dysphagia is a common problem in older patients and is becoming a larger health care problem as the populations of the United States and other developed countries rapidly age. Changes in physiology with aging are seen in the upper esophageal sphincter and pharyngeal region in both symptomatic and asymptomatic older individuals.

Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is a common problem in the elderly. Based on the initial clinical history and physical examination, the dysphagia is assessed as either primarily oropharyngeal or esophageal in origin. Most oropharyngeal dysphagia is of neurologic origin, and management is coordinated with a clinical swallow specialist in ...
