Case History/Examination
We present the case of a 27-year-old male patient, previously healthy, who sought medical attention for difficulty swallowing and chest discomfort after consuming a piece of steak. He consulted his gastroenterologist who advised him to present to the emergency room. The patient had previously experienced recurrent episodes of dysphagia, which he described as a temporary ”stoppage of food passage.” During the medical history interview, the patient disclosed allergies to lactose, nuts, and cabbage.
