Abstract
In the dysphagic patient the radiologic examination of the oral cavity, pharynx and esophagus should be regarded as an extension of the physical and neurologic examinations. The mouth and the pharynx and larynx can be reached only partially during more conventional clinical evaluation. The result of the radiologic examination should thus be put in a broader context together with the clinical history and the result of the clinical and neurologic examinations.
