Dysphagia Flashcards
Peristalsis elicited in a response to swallow
Primary peristalsis
Bolus entry to this ____ initiates pharyngeal swallow response
HypoPharynx
Peristalsis involving esophageal distention
Secondary peristalsis
Nonperistaltic disordered esophageal contractions to occur spontaneously during fluoroscopic observation
Tertiary peristalsis
Innervation of oral cavity
5 and 7
Tongue innervation? Pharyngel?
12
9 and 10
Innvervation to the musculature acting on the ues
5,7 12
Neurotransmitters of inhibitory neurons are?
VIP and NO
LES relaxation occurs at onset of?
Deglutitive inhibition
Normal transport of bolus depends on? 4 ito
Size of lumen
Peristaltic integrity
Caliber of lumen
Deglutitive inhibition of sphincs
Commonly presents w absent peristalsis and weakened LES leading to peptic stricture formn
Scleroderma

Absent perostalsis and failure of LES relaxation is feature of?
Achalasia
Les is normal, but with disordered motility of esophagus?
Diffuse esophageal spasm
Suggests esophageal in origin?

Tracheobronchial aspiration
Hoarseness bfore dysphagia?
Dysphagia before hoarseness?0
Laryngeal lesion
Malignancy that affects recurrent laryngeal nerve
Dysphagia that is progressive to months suggests
Neoplasia
Episodic dysphagia to solids only, unchanged over years
Schatzki
Eosinophilic

Peptic stricure
Less common: esop adenoCa
With accompanying odynophagia?
Infectious or pill induced esophagitis
Changes in skin suggests?
Pemphigoid bullosa
Single most useful test for esop dysphagia
Endoscopy
