title: Eating in side-lying facilitates rehabilitation in neurogenic dysphagia.
abstract: A 26-year-old man who had sustained a traumatic head injury aspirated when fed in the upright position. By contrast, when fed in the side-lying position swallowing improved and there was no aspiration. Implications for management are discussed.
