[Dysphagia] food aversion with chronic thirst

[kuakini2001 at yahoo.com (April Jamason)]

I have had several pts with severe head injuries who demonstrated chronic, unquenchable thirst, but consistently refused or expectorated and type of solids (including puree).  Does anyone know the reason for this??????
 
Thanks
AJ
