Abstract: Wallenberg’s syndrome (WS) has been observed as the cause of most severe form of dysphagia among all varieties of stroke. Although dysphagia resolves in most cases within 1-2 months, it may persist for months or years altogether resulting in malnutrition, dehydration and other complications. Rostral lesions lead to these complications and it tends to involve not only the oropharyngeal phase, but the esophageal phase as well. The interventions recommended include techniques and maneuvers along with use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation.
