What causes esophageal pressure dysphagia?

Esophageal compression dysphagia is usually caused by goiter, mediastinal tumor, aortic aneurysm and other diseases.

1, goiter

goiter is mainly caused by thyroid follicular epithelial dysplasia, when the goiter continues to increase, can lead to neck thickening, and also compression of surrounding tissues, such as compression of the esophagus, can cause dysphagia.

2, mediastinal tumor

Mediastinal tumor refers to the occurrence of tumors in the sternum, spine and left and right mediastinal pleura, early stage without obvious symptoms, after the disease progresses, when the tumor volume gradually increases, compression or invasion of surrounding tissues and organs, when compression of the esophagus, can cause different degrees of dysphagia.

3, aortic

aneurysm is a variety of factors to promote local or general expansion of the aorta caused by the disease, if the thoracic aortic arch below the aneurysm, and the volume increases, easy to compress the esophagus, and then cause dysphagia.
