Abstract

Difficulties in swallowing the capsule are rarely encountered in adults. Nevertheless, any history of dysphagia or swallowing disorders should be elicited prior to capsule endoscopy [1]. Psychogenic or neurologic factors usually underlie a patient’s inability or refusal to swallow the capsule. Oesophageal strictures, diverticula, webs or rings may be problematic. A history of previous surgery or radiotherapy involving the throat or oesophagus should also be elicited.

The work was first published in 2006 by Springer Medizin Verlag Heidelberg with the following title: Atlas of Video Capsule Endoscopy.
