Abstract:
:A 69-year old woman suffered from severe dysphagia, abdominal pain, and weight loss. The dysphagia was accompanied by nasal speech, nasal regurgitation of food, weakness, and wasting of the proximal muscles of the upper and lower girdles. Laboratory data revealed T3 sephadex uptake 65.2%; T4 15.1 mcg%; and T3 250 ng%. Treatment with antithyroid medication reversed the manifestation of all the symptoms, including dysphagia. Cine-studies revealed esophageal motor dysfunction as the cause of the dysphagia. Hyperthyroidism is a rare, but treatable cause of unexplained dysphagia.
