Abstract

Dysphagia is a clinically relevant problem in Parkinson's disease as well as in atypical Parkinsonian syndromes, such as multiple system atrophy and diseases from the spectrum of 4‑repeat tauopathies, which affect most patients to a varying degree in the course of their disease. This results in relevant restrictions in daily life due to impaired intake of food, fluids, and medication with a subsequent reduction in quality of life. This article not only gives an overview of the pathophysiological causes of dysphagia in the various Parkinson syndromes, but also presents screening, diagnostic and treatment procedures that have been investigated for the different diseases.
