Overview
Dysphagia derives from the Greek root dys meaning difficulty or disordered, and phagia meaning "to eat".
Dysphagia historical perspective
- 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.
- These investigators compared a group of 15 adults who presented with dysphagia without esophageal obstruction and normal pH monitoring to a group of 100 adults with GERD as defined by increased acid exposure in the distal esophagus.
- 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.
