Aging itself, although causing demonstrable structural and functional changes in the esophagus, does not cause any clinically relevant esophageal dysphagia. A variety of pathologic conditions seen in the geriatric population affect the esophagus and can alter esophageal function, resulting in symptomatic dysphagia. Accurate diagnosis requires a thorough evaluation performed in an unhurried fashion, often with the assistance of ancillary personnel. Treatment of these esophageal disorders is multidisciplinary and may involve dietary manipulations, the administration of medications, therapeutic endoscopic procedures, and occasionally surgery.
