Abstract
850 patients with dysphagia were examined by x-ray cinematography. On the basis of these examinations the normal events of swallowing are compared with the abnormalities observed. The technique is described. An algorithm has been developed depending on the presence of symmetry or asymmetry of the abnormalities and on muscle tone, which permits classification of the various aetiological groups. In addition, specific features of individual diseases often make it possible to arrive at a definite diagnosis.
