Antecedentes: la estimulación transcraneal de corriente directa (tDCS) es una técnica de neuromodulación no invasiva que ha mostrado efectos positivos sobre varias patologías motoras, incluyendo disfagia. Empero, su aplicación clínica y efectos microestructurales subyacentes están aún bajo investigación. Consecuentemente, en este estudio comprobamos si la tDCS aplicada junto a terapia de deglución podría benefi ciar a un paciente con disfagia debida a ictus resistente a tratamiento. Método: el paciente fue un hombre de 64 años con disfagia severa, consecuencia de un ictus en el cerebelo medial izquierdo. El tratamiento consistió en una rehabilitación de deglución, empleada como línea base, seguida de una intervención añadiendo tDCS (anodal/M1 izquierdo/16 sesiones/1 mA). Las variables medidas fueron; (1) síntomas clínicos de disfagia, (2) calidad de vida, y (3) cambios microestructurales medidos con resonancia magnética (MRI) y tensor de difusión (DTI). Resultados: los resultados mostraron: (1) una leve reducción de síntomas clínicos, (2) una mejora en calidad de vida en las áreas de comunicación, fatiga y sueño, y (3) una mejora en la conectividad y aumento de las fi bras del pedúnculo cerebeloso izquierdo. Conclusiones: estos resultados apoyan el uso de tDCS como herramienta de neurorehabilitación coadyuvante para casos resistentes a tratamiento de rehabilitación motora tradicional
