A 54-year-old man was referred to our center with complaint of dysphagia since 1 year ago. Before admission to our center, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) had been done by general internist, which was reported normal. The patient had mentioned discomfort with solid and liquid diets. He suffered from cough and sometimes nausea during swallowing. Nasal regurgitation was not reported. Because of such complaints, thorough gastrointestinal and pulmonary investigations were performed and eventually he was discharged with medical treatment.
