dc.description.abstractFollowing brain injury, return of consciousness and cough reflex are presumed to be associated with safe airway. We describe two patients who had a normal cough reflex, but impaired swallowing, which led to prolonged hospital stay. This report highlights the dissociation between the cough reflex and swallowing function in such patients.
