Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Assessment of Uninvestigated Esophageal Dysphagia
Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology
CONCLUSIONS: Once oropharyngeal dysphagia is ruled out, patients with symptoms of esophageal dysphagia should be assessed by history and physical examination, followed by endoscopy to identify structural and inflammatory lesions. If these are ruled out, then manometry is recommended for the diagnosis of esophageal dysmotility.
