title: Hyperthyroidism presenting as dysphagia.
abstract: A 65-year-old man presented with hyperthyroidism associated with thyrotoxic dysphagia. Treatment with thiamazole improved his symptoms promptly. Although dysphagia is a rare manifestation of thyrotoxicosis, it should be emphasized that the possibility of hyperthyroidism must be discussed in unexplained dysphagia because it is readily treatable.
