Approach to Dysphagia
Abstract
Dysphagia is a symptom. Patients' complaints range from an inability to initiate swallowing to a feeling that solids or liquids are blocked from passing through the esophagus into the stomach. It is important to evaluate and diagnose patients with dysphagia. In this study, the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and evaluation of patients with dysphagia are discussed separately.
