DYSPHAGIA

DYSPHAGIA

Case study
* A 51 yr.old female presented with a hx of dysphagia that has been progressively worsening for months. Initially dysphagia was for solids only but more recently it is for both solids and liquids.
* Which of the following studies will most likely establish the diagnosis
* EGD
* Barium swallow
* CT
* manometry
Case study
* A 52 year-old male executive c/o intermittent dysphagia which began 2 years ago. When he is eating, he has episodes of the sudden sensation of food sticking in his throat after he swallows, lower chest discomfortand hypersalivation. On two occassions the discomfort has caused him to regurgitate undigested food. There is now wt loss.Physical exam is normal

* Diffuse esophageal spasm
* Esophageal ring

* Dysphagia—difficulty with swallowing—is a common condition, reported by 5–8% of the general population aged over 50 years, and by 16% of the elderly.
* Dysphagia, particularly oropharyngeal dysphagia, is even more common in the chronic-care setting; up to 60% of nursing-home occupants have feeding difficulties that include dysphagia.
