description Psychogenic dysphagia is a swallowing condition caused by psychological factors rather than structural or physiological disorders such as neurological impairments or physical abnormalities. This condition has a significant impact on a patient's quality of life. Patients should undergo a thorough swallowing evaluation with the involvement of a multidisciplinary team as early intervention leads to satisfactory outcomes. This report presents a case of a 62-year-old female who had severe malnutrition due to psychogenic dysphagia. We evaluated organic and other functional causes of dysphagia, but no abnormalities were detected.
