Abstract
Patients who complain of difficulty in swallowing should not be taken lightly. A thorough investigation is warranted to determine whether the cause is a structural lesion or a neuromuscular problem. In this article, Dr Marshall discusses the clinical evaluation of oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia and points out common problems that may lead to an incorrect diagnosis.Keywords
