Abstract

Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder is an autoimmune condition characterized by features of multiple connective tissue diseases. Dysphagia is a rare presentation of Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder and is not commonly reported. A unique and challenging case report to find out the cause of dysphagia as a Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder in a patient at a tertiary care Centre is presented. Early recognition, accurate diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for optimal outcomes in such cases.
