Overview
Dysphagia derives from the Greek root dys meaning difficulty or disordered, and phagia meaning "to eat". In 1800, Dr. Patrick Paterson reported a case of gangrenous stomach with dysphagia from lightening. In 1811, Dr. TJ Armiger reported a case of aortic aneurysm causing dysphagia. In 1978, Landres et al reported an isolated case of vigorous achalasia and concluded that this was a variant of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in a patient with marked hypertrophy and eosinophilic infiltration of esophagus. In 1981, Picus and Frank reported a case of a 16-year-old boy with progressive dysphagia for 1.5 years, endoscopic findings were suggestive of multiple 1-mm nodular filling defects in the esophagus in an area of stricture with dilatation above. In 1982, Münch et al and in 1983, Matzinger and Daneman both described isolated cases of esophageal eosinophilia with dysphagia in patients with assumed eosinophilic gastroenteritis. In 1989, Attwood et al described esophageal asthma, an episodic dysphagia with eosinophilic infiltrates. In 1993, Attwood et al reported 12 adults with dysphagia, normal pH monitoring, and dense esophageal eosinophilia. Seven patients had food hypersensitivity, and all required advanced intervention (dilatation and/or steroids in 1 case) for resolution of symptoms. In 1994, Straumann et al described a series of 10 patients with acute recurrent dysphagia seen over a 4-year period.
Dysphagia historical perspective
The historical perspective of dysphagia is as follows:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
- In 1800, Dr. Patrick Paterson reported a case of gangrenous stomach with dysphagia from lightening.
- In 1811, Dr. TJ Armiger reported a case of aortic aneurysm causing dysphagia.
- In 1911, Dr. Walter Howarth reported a case of laryngeal Tuberculosis leading to dysphagia.
- In 1978, Landres et al reported an isolated case of vigorous achalasia and concluded that this was a variant of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in a patient with marked hypertrophy and eosinophilic infiltration of esophagus.
- In 1981, Picus and Frank reported a case of a 16-year-old boy with progressive dysphagia for 1.5 years, endoscopic findings were suggestive of multiple 1-mm nodular filling defects in the esophagus in an area of stricture with dilatation above.
- In 1982, Münch et al and in 1983, Matzinger and Daneman both described isolated cases of esophageal eosinophilia with dysphagia in patients with assumed eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
- In 1989, Attwood et al described esophageal asthma, an episodic dysphagia with eosinophilic infiltrates.
- In 1993, Attwood et al reported 12 adults with dysphagia, normal pH monitoring, and dense esophageal eosinophilia. Seven patients had food hypersensitivity, and all required advanced intervention (dilatation and/or steroids in 1 case) for resolution of symptoms.
- In 1994, Straumann et al described a series of 10 patients with acute recurrent dysphagia seen over a 4-year period. These patients showed discrete endoscopic changes, and high concentrations of epithelial esophageal eosinophils. They improved following systemic steroid and antihistamine treatment.
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1988, Fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) evolved as a valid, low-cost, and quick bedside technique for the evaluation of dysphagia among different hospital settings and all age groups.[10][11]
