  • Title: Inclusion body myositis presenting solely as dysphagia.
    Author: Riminton DS, Chambers ST, Parkin PJ, Pollock M, Donaldson IM.
    Journal: Neurology; 1993 Jun; 43(6):1241-3. PubMed ID: 8170574.
    Abstract:
    Two patients presenting with dysphagia due to cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction developed limb weakness 2 to 3 years later. Cricopharyngeal and limb muscle biopsies demonstrated changes typical of inclusion body myositis (IBM). Both patients improved following cricopharyngeal myotomy. IBM should be considered in patients presenting with dysphagia.
