For adequate diagnosis and treatment of the disease, it is needed to understand the complex anatomy and physiology and phathophysiology of the cricopharyngeal muscle. A variety of methods are used for the diagonosis of the cricopharyngeal dysphagia. There are nonsurgical treatment and surgical treatment to resolve the cricopharyngeal dysphagia.
