Overview

Odynophagia should be differentiated from dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). There are many causes of odynophagia. They can also be differentiated with help of appropriate H & E and diagnostic procedures.[1][2][3][4][5]

Differentiating odynopaghia from dysphagia:

Factor Odynopagia Dysphagia
Defination Pain in swallowing Inability to start or continue to swallow
Pathophysiology Irritation of sensory nerves Motor nerves paralysis or mechanical obstruction
Involved areas Pharynx and esophagus Motor nerves or esophagus

Odynophagia differentials:

Causes Pain History finding Examination finding Diagnostic test
URTI Acute pain Change in voice, fever, runny nose inflamed oral mucosa, enlarged lymph nodes or tonsils Oral swab culture
Tumors Dull Pain Loss of weight and appetite, risk factors, may have dysphagia swelling may be seen, tumor may spread to lymph nodes Endoscopy
Foreign body Acute pain History of foreign body intake Foreign body may be seen, surrounding area may be inflamed Laryngoscopy
GERD Burning pain Pain worse at night, decrease food intake but normal appetite Oral mucosa normal, mild tender epigastrium Manomatary
Esophagitis Burning pain Retrosternal pain on swallowing, food aversion Oral mucosa normal Endoscopy
