Abstract

Neurogenic dysphagia following stroke is not limited to brainstem involvement. Among 21 patients with stroke, one-third demonstrated only unilateral signs. In eight patients with silent aspiration, less subjective complaints, weaker cough, and dysphonia occurred more often. Videofluoroscopy must be used liberally in unilateral and bilateral strokes.
