Abstract

Geriatric dysphagia is an unrecognized and underdiagnosed problem with significant morbidity and potential mortality. It requires diligence by the clinician and a team approach for successful management. Careful history-taking is the key in the treatment of these patients and determines further workup, as well as treatment.
