Article 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.
