Death from haematemesis is recorded in a patient with a giant left atrium which had caused dysphagia of such severity that a plastic naso-gastric feeding tube had been introduced and retained for some days. Vascular causes of dysphagia are briefly reviewed. It is thought that the rarity of dysphagia with left atrial enlargement justifies its recognition by a new term.
据记载,一名患有巨大左心房的患者死于呕血,该巨大左心房导致吞咽困难极为严重,以至于插入并留置了一根塑料鼻胃饲管数天。本文简要回顾了吞咽困难的血管性病因。人们认为,左心房扩大导致的吞咽困难较为罕见,因此有理由用一个新术语来描述它。
