Overview
Odynophagia should be differentiated from dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). There are many causes of odynophagia. They can also be differentiated with help of appropraite H & E and diagnostic procedures.
Differentiating odynopaghia from dysphagia:
| Factor | Odynopagia | Dysphagia |
|---|---|---|
| Defination | Pain in swallowing | Inability to start or continue to swallow |
| Pathophysiology | Irritation of sensory nerves | Motor nerves paralysis or mechanical obstruction |
| Involved areas | Pharynx and esophagus | Motor nerves or esophagus |
