Pharyngolaryngeal spasm ‐induced dysphagia in an epileptic patient undergoing vagus nerve stimulation therapy
Vagus nerve stimulation for refractory epilepsy may induce laryngeal side effects such as dysphonia and dysphagia. Careful tuning of the stimulation parameters and collaboration between epileptologists and otolaryngologists can help significantly reduce side effects.
