Dysphagia caused by a hard cervical collar
Br J Neurosurg.
1996 Oct.
Abstract
It is important to consider unusual neck anatomy when fitting hard cervical collars after neurosurgical procedures. A collar which fits too tightly may restrict laryngeal movement during swallowing causing dysphagia, which could be mistaken for damage to neuromuscular function in this group of patients.
