Dysphagia, a reversible cause not to be forgotten

Abstract: SummaryAn 84-year-old man presented with dysphagia two years after the onset of symptoms. Repeated assessments at both ENT and neurology clinics had not recorded any of the more classical signs of Parkinson's disease and these did not become apparent until intercurrent illness had been treated. Once diagnosed, treatment was started and dramatic improvement was seen.

“…Dysphagia, which can occur in all phase of swallowing (oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal), is commonly observed in patients with PD with prevalence ranging from 9 to 77% (Fasano et al, 2015 ). Although dysphasia is generally considered as a late complication with median latencies of 130 months (Muller et al, 2001 ), sometimes it can develop early in the course of PD, occasionally even the presenting clinical feature (Thomas and Haigh, 1995 ; Potulska et al, 2003 ).
