Conclusion
Six cases of dysphagia caused by Vitamin B deficiency and relieved by adequate Vitamin B administration are reported. The diagnosis is made on careful analysis of the dietary habits of the patient, the absence of other causes of dysphagia and the response to adequate Vitamin B therapy. Two cases of dysphagia due to other causes used as a control did not respond favorably to Vitamin B administration.
