Esophageal Disease as a Cause of Anterior Thoracic Pain

HERMAN J. MOERSCH M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and F. EDMUND DONOGHUE M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Section of Medicine, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation. The Mayo Foundation is a part of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota.

Esophageal disorders and disease may give rise to pain that is referred to the anterior part of the thorax. The pain may be situated some distance from the site of the esophageal involvement, and may vary considerably in intensity and character. Although pain due to esophageal disease is usually associated with dysphagia, this is not always true. The possibility of an esophageal origin must always be considered in any patient with unexplained anterior thoracic pain.
