Abstract :
[en] Swallowing disorders are frequently observed in the elderly and often accompany an organic pathology. Such disorders may quickly constitute a threat for life: inhalation syndrome, pulmonary infection, undernutrition, dehydration. Diagnosing swallowing disorders is difficult and relies on anamnesis, clinical examination combined with paraclinical investigations. However, there is little place for medicinal or surgical treatment, their management being integral and multidisciplinary.
