1. Defining Functional Dysphagia
Over centuries, functional neurological disorders have had many names and explanations. Disorders such as hysteria were often diagnosed and attributed to supernatural causes. In this chapter, the DSM-5 criteria for functional neurologic disorders and Rome Foundation criteria for functional dysphagia will be reviewed. A modern understanding of risk factors, including gut–brain interaction, cortical changes, and a biopsychosocial model will be discussed.
2. Multidisciplinary Evaluation of Functional Dysphagia
In Chapter 2, a multidisciplinary approach to assessment of swallowing difficulty will be described. Evaluation of neurology, gastroenterology, or otolaryngology may be necessary. Diagnoses to be excluded may include neurodegenerative diseases, esophageal dysmotility disorders, or structural abnormalities of the head and neck.
3. Comprehensive Evaluation of Functional Dysphagia by the SLP
In this chapter, a comprehensive evaluation of swallowing by the SLP for assessment of functional dysphagia will be described, including a thorough case history, a patient interview, patient-reported outcomes, and a multiphase instrumental assessment. Positive clinical features for the diagnosis of functional dysphagia by the SLP will be highlighted.
