The 29 pages that link to Dysphagia, each with the reason it gives.

• Speech–language pathologyBroader topic: Swallowing assessment and rehabilitation are central parts of the profession’s clinical scope.

• Gastroesophageal reflux diseaseRelated: New or worsening swallowing difficulty can signal an esophageal complication requiring evaluation.

• MasticationRelated: Impaired chewing can leave food poorly prepared for safe swallowing.

• Oral administrationRelated: Swallowing impairment can make oral dosage forms unsafe or impractical.

• Cerebral palsyRelated: Oral motor impairments can make eating and drinking difficult for some people with cerebral palsy.

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisRelated: Bulbar muscle involvement in ALS can impair safe and effective swallowing.

• Vagus nerveRelated: Vagal motor pathways serve muscles involved in swallowing, so nerve injury can cause dysphagia.

• EsophagusRelated: Esophageal narrowing or impaired movement can make swallowing difficult.

• PharynxRelated: Disorders of pharyngeal movement can make swallowing difficult or unsafe.

• DysarthriaRelated: Some neurological conditions impair speech and swallowing through overlapping muscle-control problems.

• XerostomiaRelated: Insufficient lubrication can make swallowing dry foods uncomfortable or difficult.

• Hyoid boneRelated: Restricted hyoid movement can contribute to impaired swallowing.

• RegurgitationRelated: Swallowing disorders can cause retained material to return through the mouth.

• Peritonsillar abscessRelated: Swelling and pain may make swallowing increasingly difficult.

• Progressive supranuclear palsyRelated: Swallowing impairment can develop as brainstem and motor-control functions worsen.

• AchalasiaRelated: Progressive difficulty swallowing both solids and liquids is a hallmark symptom.

• GoiterRelated: Pressure from an enlarged thyroid can interfere with swallowing.

• Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorderCompared with: Swallowing impairment can restrict intake for medical reasons and must be distinguished from ARFID.

• Oral cancerRelated: Tumors and their treatment can impair swallowing.

• Eosinophilic esophagitisRelated: Esophageal inflammation and narrowing commonly cause this symptom, especially with solid foods.

• Head and neck cancerRelated: Tumors and treatment can disrupt the muscles and structures needed for swallowing.

• Sore throatRelated: Severe swallowing difficulty can signal a complication or threaten hydration.

• Speech disorderCompared with: It can share neurological causes with speech disorders but affects swallowing rather than spoken communication.

• Herpetic gingivostomatitisRelated: Oral pain can make swallowing difficult and interfere with hydration and nutrition.

• BelchingRelated: Swallowing difficulty alongside belching can signal a problem needing assessment.

• Cervical collarRelated: A tightly fitted or prolonged collar can make swallowing harder.

• Digestive System and Oral Physiological PhenomenaRelated: It shows how disrupted swallowing affects the oral-to-digestive transition.

• Moebius syndromeRelated: Weakness affecting the mouth and throat can make feeding and swallowing difficult.

• Stomatognathic systemCompared with: It is a swallowing symptom that may involve structures beyond the mouth and jaws.
