Subscribe now >> Dysphagia Institute Dysphagia Institute Focuses on Swallowing Disorders Dysphagia , or difficulty in swallowing, affects approximately one out of every 17 persons. There are many possible causes of dysphagia and therefore the symptoms vary widely among individuals. One individual may have mild throat discomfort when swallowing, while another may be unable to eat any solid foods comfortably. Dysphagia often signals a serious medical problem. If one has persistent difficulty in swallowing, it's very important that a diagnosis be made early. In cases where dysphagia is a warning sign of an illness, early diagnosis offers the best chance of successful treatment. A Leading Midwest Center The MCW Dysphagia Institute at Froedtert Hospital is a multi-disciplinary team committed to the diagnosis, research and treatment of patients with swallowing disorders. The Institute and its faculty have achieved international recognition for their basic and clinical research in swallowing disorders conducted over the last 20 years. The Institute's comprehensive and sophisticated facilities, which are available to help patients with swallowing difficulties, are unique in the Midwest. Today, the Institute encompasses a clinical division for evaluating patients, and a research division, which has been continuously supported by grant funds from the National Institutes of Health and other federal funding agencies.

home find your chapter get involved government affairs / advocacy ... Web Resources Dysphagia From The MS Information Sourcebook , produced by the National MS Society. Dysphagia, or difficulty in swallowing, can occur among people with MS. While more frequent in advanced disease, it can occur at any stage. The person may cough after drinking liquids, or choke while eating certain foods, particularly those with crumbly textures. When this kind of coughing or choking occurs, the food or liquids are inhaled into the trachea (windpipe) instead of going down the esophagus (gullet) and into the stomach. Once in the lungs, the inhaled food or liquids can cause pneumonia or abscesses. Because the food or drink is not reaching the stomach, a person may also be at risk for malnutrition or dehydration. It can also occur that a person inhales small amounts of food or liquids without being aware of it. This is called silent aspiration. Diagnosing and Treating Dysphagia Dysphagia is initially diagnosed by a careful history and neurologic examination of the tongue and swallowing muscles. Sometimes a special imaging procedure called a modified barium swallow is needed. In this test, the patient drinks or eats contrast material of different consistencies-thin liquid, thick liquid, and solid. A videofluoroscope, which can trace the path of the contrast material, is used to film the swallowing. The precise location and manner of a swallowing defect can then be identified, and treatment prescribed.

OTHER TOPICS GERD Eating disorders Irritable bowel Dysphagia M. Louay Omran, M.D. Dr. Omran is Assistant Professor in the Division of Geriatrics at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Dysphagia, or difficulty in swallowing, is not a disease in itself but a condition that can be brought on by many different causes because swallowing is a delicate process, easily disturbed. Some causes are minor and quickly treatable; others are serious, even life-threatening. Although it can be as difficult to find the right treatment for dysphagia, as it is to define a precise cause, good treatments do exist for most forms of this condition. Unfortunately, as a recent European study has confirmed, dysphagia often goes undetected and either untreated or undertreated. How Swallowing Works To understand dysphagia, it is helpful to start by understanding how we swallow. The swallowing process is surprisingly intricate, involving both conscious and unconscious actions carried out by more than 40 pairs of muscles that must be finely coordinated. Doctors divide the swallowing process into three phases oral, oropharyngeal and esophageal. Dysphagia occurs when something interferes with either the second or third phase. The Three Stages of Swallowing In the oral phase, we take food or drink into our mouths and then push it into the back of the mouth toward the upper part of the throat, through which we both breathe and swallow.

Dysphagia is the technical term for the symptom of the sensation of difficulty in swallowing . Dysphagia is usually a sign of underlying neurological deficits and/or disorders. The problem is generally diagnosed on history, where difficulty on initiation of swallowing suggests stroke or other neurologic disease, while dysphagia later in the course of swallowing suggests GERD, cancer, dystrophy , or a number of other medical conditions. Videographic Fluoroscopy (modified barium swallow evaluation) is standard for diagnosis of this condition.

The act of deglutition is divided into four phases: Oral Preparatory Phase - food is manipulated in the mouth and masticated (chewed) if necessary in order to reduce food to a consistency which can be swallowed. Oral Phase - the tongue propels food posteriorly until the pharyngeal swallow is triggered.
