Dysphagia

• Dysphagia is difficulty with swallowing.
  
• It is estimated that dysphagia occurs in 10% of all whiplash cases.
  
• Post whiplash dysphagia may be the result of damage to the pharynx and larynx with subsequent bleeding into that area.
  
• The early occurrence of dysphagia suggests a serious injury.
  

Treatment
