Extractions: Subscribe now >> Dysphagia , or difficulty in swallowing, affects approximately one out of every 17 persons. There are many possible causes of dysphagia and therefore the symptoms vary widely among individuals. One individual may have mild throat discomfort when swallowing, while another may be unable to eat any solid foods comfortably. Dysphagia often signals a serious medical problem. If one has persistent difficulty in swallowing, it's very important that a diagnosis be made early. In cases where dysphagia is a warning sign of an illness, early diagnosis offers the best chance of successful treatment. The MCW Dysphagia Institute at Froedtert Hospital is a multi-disciplinary team committed to the diagnosis, research and treatment of patients with swallowing disorders. The Institute and its faculty have achieved international recognition for their basic and clinical research in swallowing disorders conducted over the last 20 years. The Institute's comprehensive and sophisticated facilities, which are available to help patients with swallowing difficulties, are unique in the Midwest. Today, the Institute encompasses a clinical division for evaluating patients, and a research division, which has been continuously supported by grant funds from the National Institutes of Health and other federal funding agencies.

Esophageal Disorders Topics [General] Dysphagia Chest Pain Of Esophageal Origin Cricopharyngeal Incoordination ... Infectious Esophageal Disorders Dysphagia A subjective awareness of difficulty in swallowing caused by impaired progression of matter from pharynx to stomach. The usual complaint is that food "gets stuck" on the way down, which may be accompanied by pain. Dysphagia is caused by impeded transport of liquids and solids by organic lesions of the pharynx, esophagus, and adjacent organs or by functional derangements of the nervous system and musculature. The cause of dysphagia should always be carefully sought. PREESOPHAGEAL DYSPHAGIA Difficulty emptying bolus material from the oral pharynx into the esophagus. Preesophageal dysphagia occurs with abnormal function proximal to the esophagus, most often in patients with neurologic or muscular disorders that affect skeletal muscles (eg, dermatomyositis, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, oculogyric crises associated with phenothiazine therapy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, bulbar poliomyelitis, pseudobulbar palsy, other CNS lesions). The patient frequently presents with nasal regurgitation or tracheal aspiration followed by coughing. ESOPHAGEAL DYSPHAGIA Difficulty passing food down the esophagus, possibly caused by obstructive or motor disorders.

What is this radiological investigation? 2. What diagnostic features does it show? This is a barium swallow showing the typical 'rat tail' appearance of achalasia of the cardia. Achalasia of the cardia is a functional failure of relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter. Histological examination shows degeneration of the ganglion cells in the myenteric plexus and changes within the Vagus nerves. Lymphocytic infiltration is often seen with fibrosis occurring in chromic cases. The aetiology is unknown although infection with a neurotropic virus affecting the autonomic nervous system has been suggested. Chagas' disease due to infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, seen in South America, results in damage to the myenteric plexus and causing similar oesophageal appearances. Achalasia is a disease of middle age with equal preponderance in either sex. The commonest clinical presentation is with insidious onset of dysphagia with patients often having symptoms for several years before seeking medical advice. This is in contrast to the symptoms of oesophageal cancer where the symptoms progress over weeks and months. Dysphagia occurs with both solids and fluids often helping in differentiating it from mechanical obstruction where symptoms occur with solids before fluids. Other presenting symptoms include weight loss, regurgitation and chest complaints, particularly nocturnal cough and wheeze. Approximately 10% of patients develop the more serious respiratory complications of aspiration pneumonia, lung abscess and bronchiectasis. About 5% of patients with long standing disease develop squamous carcinoma of the oesophagus. This is thought to result from prolonged exposure to carcinogens in food.

Jaundice [ Chronic dysphagia ] Chronic cough Congenital GI lesion This 59 year-old man presented with a six month history of dysphagia to solids 1. What was seen at his endoscopy? 2. What is the most likely aetiology? 3. How should the patient be investigated and managed? The endoscopic appearances are those of a benign oesophageal stricture most commonly occurring in the distal oesophagus as a result of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). These strictures are also occasionally referred to as peptic strictures. Other causes of benign oesophageal stricture include: Prolonged GORD results in chronic inflammation and fibrosis which in advanced cases can involve the full thickness of the oesophageal wall and can result in oesophageal shortening. Most peptic strictures are however less than 1 cm in length. Between 5 and 10% of patients with GORD will develop a peptic stricture, often having had symptoms for a number of years. The incidence of peptic strictures has decreased in recent years, probably due to the widespread use of acid suppression therapy. In those patients who develop a stricture, the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure, oesophageal motility and gastric emptying are more severely impaired than in those patients with GORD who have not developed this complication.

http://www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.com/articles/senior_living/dysphagia_10/

Extractions: To understand dysphagia, it is helpful to start by understanding how we swallow. The swallowing process is surprisingly intricate, involving both conscious and unconscious actions carried out by more than 40 pairs of muscles that must be finely coordinated. Doctors divide the swallowing process into three phases oral, oropharyngeal and esophageal. Dysphagia occurs when something interferes with either the second or third phase.

Extractions: Advanced Search Dysphagia is a problem that commonly affects patients cared for by family physicians in the office, as hospital inpatients and as nursing home residents. Familiar medical problems, including cerebrovascular accidents, gastroesophageal reflux disease and medication-related side effects, often lead to complaints of dysphagia. Stroke patients are at particular risk of aspiration because of dysphagia. Classifying dysphagia as oropharyngeal, esophageal and obstructive, or neuromuscular symptom complexes leads to a successful diagnosis in 80 to 85 percent of patients. Based on the patient history and physical examination, barium esophagram and/or gastroesophageal endoscopy can confirm the diagnosis. Special studies and consultation with subspecialists can confirm difficult diagnoses and help guide treatment strategies. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:3639-48.) C omplaints of dysphagia (difficult swallowing) are common, especially in aging persons. Approximately 7 to 10 percent of adults older than 50 years have dysphagia, although this number may be artificially low because many patients with this problem may never seek medical care.

Supporting Research Dysphagia is the medical term for difficulty swallowing, or the feeling that food is "sticking" in your throat or chest. The feeling is actually in your esophagus, the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. You may experience dysphagia when swallowing solid foods, liquids, or both. Oropharyngeal dysphagia involves difficulty moving food from your mouth into your upper esophagus. Esophageal dysphagia involves difficulty moving food through your esophagus to your stomach. Dysphagia can affect you at any age, although the likelihood increases as you grow older. Signs and Symptoms The following are symptoms of oropharyngeal dysphagia. The following are symptoms of esophageal dysphagia.
