Abstract
This article reviews the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the varied pathologic conditions that result in dysphagia. The description of difficulty swallowing by a patient should direct the physician to an orderly series of diagnostic tests of esophageal function to help determine the cause of dysphagia. Some conditions that cause dysphagia also are presented in this review.
