Abstract

Commentary

Dysphagia is a common esophageal symptom with nearly 1 in 5 subjects older than 50 years describing this symptom in epidemiologic surveys. It is the second most common indication for upper endoscopy in the United States. There is a myriad list of possible etiologies for dysphagia. Consequently, a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis resulting in a well planned investigation is important. As described by Drs. Katzka and Kochman, a carefully obtained medical history is the initial step. Upper endoscopy is almost always indicated as part of the evaluation and treatment.

吞咽困难的诊断方法
吞咽困难是一种常见的食道症状,在流行病学调查中,50岁以上的受试者中有近五分之一描述了这种症状。在美国,这是上颌内窥镜检查的第二大常见适应症。吞咽困难的可能病因有很多。因此,一个系统的方法来鉴别诊断导致一个良好的计划调查是重要的。正如dr。卡兹卡和科赫曼,仔细获得的病史是第一步。上颌内窥镜检查几乎总是作为评估和治疗的一部分。格蕾丝·埃尔塔,mdedeitor
