Abstract	Dysphagia is a highly prevalent symptom or consequence of multiple —structural or functional— oropharyngeal or esophageal disease processes. Alterations in the efficacy and/or safety of swallowing, can cause malnutrition up to one third of patients who have it. The evaluation and management of patients with dysphagia, by a multidisciplinary team, optimizes the treatment plan. Eosinophilic Esophagitis Primary (EEo) is a recently described disease that causes dysphagia. It is characterized by esophagus inflammation -exclusively and primary-by eosinophilic leukocytes . With familial aggregation, affects young patients with a history of allergy. Although its precise mechanisms remain unknown, there is unanimity in understanding the disease as an alternative form of local allergy. The aim of this work is to characterize the entity reviewing its pathogenesis , clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis and therapeutic approach more accepted today.
