Dysphagia is a common problem after stroke associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Except for patients with brain stem strokes, particularly lateral medullary strokes, it is difficult to predict which cases are likely to develop swallowing dysfunction based on their neuroimaging. Clear models of swallowing control and integration of cortico-bulbar input have not been defined and the role of subcortical structures is unclear. The purpose of this study was to identify supratentorial regions of interest (ROIs) that might be related to clinically important dysphagia in acute stroke patients, focusing on subcortical structures.
