title: [Oropharyngeal dysphagia associated with Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia J].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Dysphagia associated with neurological disease is an important clinical manifestation in the diagnosis of injury that justifies the compression of the brainstem and lower cranial nerves.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To emphasize the study of dysphagia in a patient with Chiari I malformation associated with syringomyelia in the absence of primary gastroenterological symptoms.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe the case of a 62 year-old woman with oropharyngeal dysphagia of six years of evolution, cervicobrachialgia, ptosis and facial diplexia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Magnetic resonance imaging is an essential element for establishing the etiologic diagnosis of neurogenic dysphagia.
