Abstract

Dysphagia is a disorder that affects one or more phases of the swallowing process. In paediatric age, it is often difficult to discriminate the underlying cause of this disorder. In this sense, a first distinction between oropharyngeal and oesophageal dysphagia is helpful. This article reviews the main causes of dysphagia through the description of clinical cases and provides indications for diagnostic and therapeutic management.
