Summary

The term dysphagia, defined as the inability to swallow, is commonly used to describe problems with eating. Eating and especially swallowing is a complex process and morphological as well as functional problems can lead to disturbances. Prehension, mastication, swallowing itself and oesophageal transport can be affected. This article intends not to summarise differential diagnoses but to describe how to work up a case presented with dysphagia.
