Difficulty in or lack of complete swallowing, which slows the movement of food from the mouth into the stomach.<\/p>\n
Difficulty in swallowing, commonly associated with disorders of the oesophagus.<\/p>\n
Difficult or painful swallowing or inability to swallow. This difficulty could be caused by a number of different conditions. The more common causes of swallowing difficulty are neurologic damage such as stroke or progressive neurologic disease such as Parkinson\u2019s disease, head and neck tumors and their treatment, medical problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, diabetes, and induced trauma to the esophagus, larynx, tongue, or pharynx (New York Eye and Ear Infirmary [NYEEI], 2000).<\/p>\n
Difficulty in swallowing, or inability to swallow, a symptom of a variety of disorders, including brain tumor.<\/p>\n
A condition in which the action of swallowing is either difficult to perform, painful, or in which swallowed material seems to be held up in its passage to the stomach. It is caused by painful conditions of the mouth and throat obstruction of the pharynx or esophagus by diseases of the wail or pressure from outside, or by abnormalities of muscular activity of the pharynx or esophagus.<\/p>\n
Difficulty in swallowing. This may be caused by narrowing of the oesophagus because of physical disease such as cancer or injury. Disturbance to the nervous control of the swallowing mechanism for example, in stroke or motor neurone disease can also cause dysphagia.<\/p>\n
Difficulty in swallowing. It is a neurologic or neuromuscular symptom that may result in aspiration (whereby food or saliva enters the airway), slow swallowing (possibly resulting in inadequate nutrition), or both.<\/p>\n
