초록
Presbyesophagus is a unique cause of dysphagia in the elderly, which features incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, dilatation of the esophagus, decreased esophageal peristaltic pressures, abnormal esophageal contractions, and delayed emptying of the esophagus. An 88-year-old woman underwent surgery for a femur fracture. The day after surgery, respiratory arrest occurred during a meal. Breathing resumed after oxygen supply with airway opening. She complained of dysphagia and nausea during a meal, and the videofluoroscopic swallowing study and esophagography showed delayed emptying of the esophagus, abnormal esophageal contraction, and dilatation of the esophagus. This case shows that esophageal dysfunction in the elderly with poor general medical conditions can worsen abruptly.
Abstract
Presbyesophagus is a unique cause of dysphagia in the elderly, which features incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, dilatation of the esophagus, decreased esophageal peristaltic pressures, abnormal esophageal contractions, and delayed emptying of the esophagus. An 88-year-old woman underwent surgery for a femur fracture. The day after surgery, respiratory arrest occurred during a meal. Breathing resumed after oxygen supply with airway opening. She complained of dysphagia and nausea during a meal, and the videofluoroscopic swallowing study and esophagography showed delayed emptying of the esophagus, abnormal esophageal contraction, and dilatation of the esophagus. This case shows that esophageal dysfunction in the elderly with poor general medical conditions can worsen abruptly.
