Abstract

Swallowing disorders are a common disease in all ages. The spectrum of diseases in patients with swallowing disorders has significantly changed in the last decades. Often complexe clinical pictures require a multidisciplinary approach including various different professionals. Videofluoroscopy is the method of choice for evaluation of the entire swallowing tract within one investigation. Functional as well as morphological changes can be diagnosed and as a therapeutic study, it helps guide decisions regarding further swallow therapy based on those findings.
