- Summary:
- For students and clinicians who treat swallowing disorders in various settings, Murry (speech pathology in otolaryngology, Weill Cornell Medical College) and Carrau (otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, Ohio State U.) address the diagnosis and treatment of dysphagia in adults and children as a multidisciplinary field that combines speech pathology and otolaryngology. They focus on diagnosis and treatment and exclude long discussion of causes and complications. They discuss indications for intervention, the importance of treatment, relationships to other medical conditions, the anatomy and function of the swallowing mechanism, and the abnormal swallow and disorders that arise from neurological and head and neck disorders and diseases. They also discuss surgical interventions, evaluation methods, nonsurgical and surgical treatment, prosthetic management, nutrition and diet, and their philosophical approach to the organization of a swallowing center. This edition revises chapters on nonsurgical and surgical treatment, expands the glossary, and includes a new chapter on pediatric feeding and swallowing.
