Resolution of severe psychogenic dysphagia with ECT in an elderly patient
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 December 2017
Abstract
In this report we describe an 82-year female with a longstanding anxiety disorder who developed severe psychogenic dysphagia, leading to hospitalization due to failure to thrive. We describe for the first time the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to successfully manage a patient with pharmacological treatment resistant psychogenic dysphagia.
