Core Tip	Systemic sclerosis presents with significant gastrointestinal involvement, with dysphagia being a common clinical symptom. Normal swallowing physiology is broken down into the oral phase, pharyngeal phase, and esophageal phase of swallowing; systemic sclerosis can cause disease processes that affect and disrupt each stage of swallowing. We describe the disruptions to swallowing that occur in each phase and potential therapeutic options to alleviate symptoms.
