[Oropharyngeal dysphagia associated with Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia J]
Background:
Dysphagia associated with neurological disease is an important clinical manifestation in the diagnosis of injury that justifies the compression of the brainstem and lower cranial nerves.
Objective:
To emphasize the study of dysphagia in a patient with Chiari I malformation associated with syringomyelia in the absence of primary gastroenterological symptoms.
Clinical Case:
We describe the case of a 62 year-old woman with oropharyngeal dysphagia of six years of evolution, cervicobrachialgia, ptosis and facial diplexia.
Conclusions:
Magnetic resonance imaging is an essential element for establishing the etiologic diagnosis of neurogenic dysphagia.
