What is Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction?
Cricopharyngeal dysfunction occurs when the upper esophageal sphincter fails to relax properly, causing difficulty in swallowing.

Causes of Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction

• Neurological disorders (stroke, Parkinson’s)
• Muscle tightness or spasm

Diagnosis and Treatment
At Dr. Sachin Goel’s Clinic,  , we use swallowing studies and manometry for diagnosis.

Treatment options include:

• Botox Injections: To relax the muscle.
• Dilation Procedures: To widen the esophagus.
• Surgical Myotomy: In severe cases.
