The differential diagnosis of dysphagia is one of the more rewarding tasks of internal medicine. In the large majority of cases, careful history-taking suffices to permit the classification of the underlying disorder. Singultus has a wide range of causes: neurological, psychological, toxic, pulmonary and gastro-enterological. Treatment may prove difficult. A wide spectrum of drugs and general measures has been reported to be effective in the case of singultus.
