Pediatric dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, affects children ages 3 to 17 in the United States. While there are four phases of the physiologic swallow, clinicians frequently evaluate and manage symptoms associated with the oropharyngeal and esophageal phases.
There are numerous possible diagnoses that may contribute to dysphagia and its sequelae, and therefore effectively navigating the investigative process can be challenging.
The development of new diagnostic techniques have shown to be beneficial in recognizing underlying pathophysiology, in addition to identifying new diagnoses.
Current Concepts in Pediatric Dysphagia: Oropharyngeal, Esophageal and the Extremes aims to provide a detailed discussion on the novel diagnostic techniques and therapeutic management of these disorders, including supragastric belching and retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction.
