Dysphagia can arise from a multitude of underlying pathologies affecting any of the three stages of swallowing; oral, pharyngeal and or oesophageal; and can be further classified as intraluminal, intramural or extramural. We discuss an unusual case of acute dysphagia secondary to haematoma formation within one of a number of potential neck spaces. We report on a novel precipitant; routine electrical cardioversion. A review of relevant anatomical boundaries, symptoms, precipitants and treatment options will be discussed.
