Neurogene Dysphagien

More about the book

Neurological diseases, like strokes, dementia and Parkinsons, are the most common causes of dysphagia. Neurogenic dysphagia is playing a growing role in outpatient and inpatient care due to its often serious health consequences as well as due to the ageing population. This textbook deals with practice-based neurophysiological principles and the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenic dysphagia based on the current state of clinical research. The focus of the book is on the implementation and findings of the fibre-optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) including specific neurological examination protocols.
