Abstract
Dysphagia is a fascinating symptom. It is ostensibly simple when defined by trouble swallowing yet its subtleties in deciphering and its variations in pathophysiology almost mandate a thorough knowledge of medicine itself. With patience and careful questioning, a multitude of various disorders may be suggested before an objective test is performed. Indeed, the ability to diligently and comprehensively explore the symptom of dysphagia is not only rewarding but a real test for a physician who prides him or herself on good history taking.
