Notas: Dysphagia is a symptom characterized by the difficulty to swallow. It is highly prevalent that may be due to several pathological conditions both structural and functional and be localized at the oropharynx or the oesophagus. Oropharyngeal dysphagia may cause efficiency and safety problems and can cause tracheobronchial aspirations. Hyponutrition appears in up to 1/3 of the patients suffering and safe swallowing (aspirations) in up to 2/3 of the patients presenting it, with high risk of aspiration pneumonias and respiratory infections. In neurological, elder or institutionalised patients its prevalence may vary 30%-60%, with varying degrees of severity. Despite this, oropharyngeal dysphagia remains underdiagnosed and undertreated so it seems necessary to carry out an analysis of the current methods to perform an early and accurate diagnosis allowing for the implementation of effective therapies helping the clinician preventing complications, both nutritional and respiratory. In the present review, I outline the study of oropharyngeal dysphagia from the use of clinical questionaries to its confirmation by instrumental examinations, helping multidisciplinary team not only to diagnose dysphagia but also to determine the most effective therapeutic strategies in each case (nutritional and for rehabilitation) and to control its course.
