La dysphagie est une sensation de gêne ou d’obstacle à la déglutition des aliments. Une analyse soigneuse des caractéristiques de la dysphagie permet d’orienter la démarche diagnostique et de hiérarchiser les explorations adaptées à chaque situation. Rarement isolée, elle est souvent révélatrice d’une pathologie sous jacente, potentiellement extra digestive. Les formes oro-pharyngées sont dominées par les dysfonctionnements neuromusculaires. Les dysphagies œsophagiennes sont distinguées en fonction de l’existence d’un obstacle organique sur le trajet de l’œsophage et dans le cas contraire, s’intègrent le plus souvent dans le cadre des troubles moteurs de l’œsophage. L’endoscopie digestive haute se place souvent au premier plan des explorations, toujours complétée par la réalisation de biopsies. Dysphagia is a sensation of irritation or obstruction when swallowing food. Careful analysis of the characteristics of dysphagia can help to orient the diagnostic approach and organise into a hierarchy the explorations adapted to each situation. Rarely isolated, it often reveals a subjacent pathology, which may be extra-digestive. The oropharyngeal forms are dominated by neuromuscular dysfunction. Oesophageal dysphagia is distinguished as a function of the presence of an organic obstacle along the oesophageal tract and, when this is not the case, most often integrates into the framework of oesophageal motility disorders. Upper digestive endoscopy is often in the front line of explorations, and always completed with biopsies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
