Where this comes from

Abstract

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. Identifying the underlying pathology contributing to dysphagia allows for optimal treatment and improved quality of life.
