The dysphagia encountered by patients with neurological disorders can be both distressing and life threatening because of the associated problems of aspiration. Decisions regarding management are often difficult because the exact nature of the underlying disorder varies from patient to patient and is frequently complex. A new approach to the assessment and evaluation of acquired neurological dysphagia is presented. Management of the first 50 patients assessed by this method is described. The advantages of a joint dysphagia clinic comprising neurology, speech therapy, ENT and radiology departments are discussed.
