نبذة مختصرة
The history of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) involves early clinical observations, like Bayford's 1761 description of an artery causing it, evolving into modern understanding where history taking is key (80% diagnostic clues from symptoms like solids vs. liquids), with major advances in the 1980s-90s with technologies like videofluoroscopy, endoscopy, and manometry, fostering multidisciplinary study groups to tackle its complex neurological, structural, and functional aspects, from Zenker's diverticulum to achalasia and post-stroke issues
