Deglutition Disorders: Difficulty in SWALLOWING which may result from neuromuscular disorder or mechanical obstruction. Dysphagia is classified into two distinct types: oropharyngeal dysphagia due to malfunction of the PHARYNX and UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; and esophageal dysphagia due to malfunction of the ESOPHAGUS.Deglutition: The act of taking solids and liquids into the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT through the mouth and throat.Hyoid Bone: A mobile U-shaped bone that lies in the anterior part of the neck at the level of the third CERVICAL VERTEBRAE. The hyoid bone is suspended from the processes of the TEMPORAL BONES by ligaments, and is firmly bound to the THYROID CARTILAGE by muscles.Esophageal Sphincter, Upper: The structure at the pharyngoesophageal junction consisting chiefly of the CRICOPHARYNGEUS MUSCLE. It normally occludes the lumen of the ESOPHAGUS, except during SWALLOWING.Oropharynx: The middle portion of the pharynx that lies posterior to the mouth, inferior to the SOFT PALATE, and superior to the base of the tongue and EPIGLOTTIS. It has a digestive function as food passes from the mouth into the oropharynx before entering ESOPHAGUS.Bulbar Palsy, Progressive: A motor neuron disease marked by progressive weakness of the muscles innervated by cranial nerves of the lower brain stem. Clinical manifestations include dysarthria, dysphagia, facial weakness, tongue weakness, and fasciculations of the tongue and facial muscles. The adult form of the disease is marked initially by bulbar weakness which progresses to involve motor neurons throughout the neuroaxis. Eventually this condition may become indistinguishable from AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS. Fazio-Londe syndrome is an inherited form of this illness which occurs in children and young adults. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1091; Brain 1992 Dec;115(Pt 6):1889-1900)Mastication: The act and process of chewing and grinding food in the mouth.Hypopharynx: The bottom portion of the pharynx situated below the OROPHARYNX and posterior to the LARYNX. The hypopharynx communicates with the larynx through the laryngeal inlet, and is also called laryngopharynx.Epiglottis: A thin leaf-shaped cartilage that is covered with LARYNGEAL MUCOSA and situated posterior to the root of the tongue and HYOID BONE. During swallowing, the epiglottis folds back over the larynx inlet thus prevents foods from entering the airway.Pharynx: A funnel-shaped fibromuscular tube that conducts food to the ESOPHAGUS, and air to the LARYNX and LUNGS. It is located posterior to the NASAL CAVITY; ORAL CAVITY; and LARYNX, and extends from the SKULL BASE to the inferior border of the CRICOID CARTILAGE anteriorly and to the inferior border of the C6 vertebra posteriorly. It is divided into the NASOPHARYNX; OROPHARYNX; and HYPOPHARYNX (laryngopharynx).Larynx: A tubular organ of VOICE production. It is located in the anterior neck, superior to the TRACHEA and inferior to the tongue and HYOID BONE.Sphenoid Bone: An irregular unpaired bone situated at the SKULL BASE and wedged between the frontal, temporal, and occipital bones (FRONTAL BONE; TEMPORAL BONE; OCCIPITAL BONE). Sphenoid bone consists of a median body and three pairs of processes resembling a bat with spread wings. The body is hollowed out in its inferior to form two large cavities (SPHENOID SINUS).Tongue: A muscular organ in the mouth that is covered with pink tissue called mucosa, tiny bumps called papillae, and thousands of taste buds. The tongue is anchored to the mouth and is vital for chewing, swallowing, and for speech.Dentition, Mixed: The complement of teeth in the jaws after the eruption of some of the permanent teeth but before all the deciduous teeth are absent. (Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed)Pharyngeal Muscles: The muscles of the PHARYNX are voluntary muscles arranged in two layers. The external circular layer consists of three constrictors (superior, middle, and inferior). The internal longitudinal layer consists of the palatopharyngeus, the salpingopharyngeus, and the stylopharyngeus. During swallowing, the outer layer constricts the pharyngeal wall and the inner layer elevates pharynx and LARYNX.Fluoroscopy: Production of an image when x-rays strike a fluorescent screen.Esophageal Stenosis: A stricture of the ESOPHAGUS. Most are acquired but can be congenital.Bipolar Disorder: A major affective disorder marked by severe mood swings (manic or major depressive episodes) and a tendency to remission and recurrence.Nasal Bone: Either one of the two small elongated rectangular bones that together form the bridge of the nose.Manometry: Measurement of the pressure or tension of liquids or gases with a manometer.Cephalometry: The measurement of the dimensions of the HEAD.Mouth: The oval-shaped oral cavity located at the apex of the digestive tract and consisting of two parts: the vestibule and the oral cavity proper.Mental Disorders: Psychiatric illness or diseases manifested by breakdowns in the adaptational process expressed primarily as abnormalities of thought, feeling, and behavior producing either distress or impairment of function.Esophagus: The muscular membranous segment between the PHARYNX and the STOMACH in the UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.Anxiety Disorders: Persistent and disabling ANXIETY.Mood Disorders: Those disorders that have a disturbance in mood as their predominant feature.Mandible: The largest and strongest bone of the FACE constituting the lower jaw. It supports the lower teeth.Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Categorical classification of MENTAL DISORDERS based on criteria sets with defining features.

Although most individuals have symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, one or the other pattern may be predominant. The disorder is more frequent in males than females. Onset is in childhood. Symptoms often attenuate during late adolescence although a minority experience the full complement of symptoms into mid-adulthood. (From DSM-V)Depressive Disorder: An affective disorder manifested by either a dysphoric mood or loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities. The mood disturbance is prominent and relatively persistent.Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: An anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, persistent obsessions or compulsions. Obsessions are the intrusive ideas, thoughts, or images that are experienced as senseless or repugnant. Compulsions are repetitive and seemingly purposeful behavior which the individual generally recognizes as senseless and from which the individual does not derive pleasure although it may provide a release from tension.Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic: A class of traumatic stress disorders with symptoms that last more than one month. There are various forms of post-traumatic stress disorder, depending on the time of onset and the duration of these stress symptoms. In the acute form, the duration of the symptoms is between 1 to 3 months. In the chronic form, symptoms last more than 3 months. With delayed onset, symptoms develop more than 6 months after the traumatic event.Autistic Disorder: A disorder beginning in childhood. It is marked by the presence of markedly abnormal or impaired development in social interaction and communication and a markedly restricted repertoire of activity and interest. Manifestations of the disorder vary greatly depending on the developmental level and chronological age of the individual. (DSM-V)Phobic Disorders: Anxiety disorders in which the essential feature is persistent and irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that the individual feels compelled to avoid. The individual recognizes the fear as excessive or unreasonable.Child Development Disorders, Pervasive: Severe distortions in the development of many basic psychological functions that are not normal for any stage in development. These distortions are manifested in sustained social impairment, speech abnormalities, and peculiar motor movements.Psychotic Disorders: Disorders in which there is a loss of ego boundaries or a gross impairment in reality testing with delusions or prominent hallucinations. (From DSM-IV, 1994)Substance-Related Disorders: Disorders related to substance abuse.Conduct Disorder: A repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated. These behaviors include aggressive conduct that causes or threatens physical harm to other people or animals, nonaggressive conduct that causes property loss or damage, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violations of rules. The onset is before age 18. (From DSM-IV, 1994)Tic Disorders: Disorders characterized by recurrent TICS that may interfere with speech and other activities. Tics are sudden, rapid, nonrhythmic, stereotyped motor movements or vocalizations which may be exacerbated by stress and are generally attenuated during absorbing activities. Tic disorders are distinguished from conditions which feature other types of abnormal movements that may accompany another another condition. (From DSM-IV, 1994)Psychiatric Status Rating Scales: Standardized procedures utilizing rating scales or interview schedules carried out by health personnel for evaluating the degree of mental illness.Borderline Personality Disorder: A personality disorder marked by a pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts. (DSM-IV)Stroke: A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES.

Assessment of swallowing and referral to speech and language therapists in acute stroke. (1/1000)

The best clinical assessment of swallowing following acute stroke, in order to decide whether to refer a patient to a speech and language therapist (SLT), is uncertain. Independently of the managing clinical team, we prospectively investigated 115 patients (51 male) with acute stroke, mean age 75 years (range 24-94) within 72 h of admission, using a questionnaire, structured examination and timed water swallowing test. Outcome variables included referral to and intervention by a speech and language therapist (SLT), dietary modification, respiratory complications and death. Of those patients in whom an SLT recommended intervention, 97% were detected by an abnormal quantitative water swallowing test; specificity was 69%. An SLT was very unlikely to recommend any intervention if the test was normal. Inability to perform a water test and/or abnormality of the test was associated with significantly increased relative risks of death, chest infection and dietary modification. A timed water swallowing test can be a useful test of swallowing and may be used to screen patients for referral to a speech and language therapist after acute stroke.  (+info)

Swallowing function after stroke: prognosis and prognostic factors at 6 months. (2/1000)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Swallowing dysfunction (dysphagia) is common and disabling after acute stroke, but its impact on long-term prognosis for potential complications and the recovery from swallowing dysfunction remain uncertain. We aimed to prospectively study the prognosis of swallowing function over the first 6 months after acute stroke and to identify the important independent clinical and videofluoroscopic prognostic factors at baseline that are associated with an increased risk of swallowing dysfunction and complications. METHODS: We prospectively assembled an inception cohort of 128 hospital-referred patients with acute first stroke. We assessed swallowing function clinically and videofluoroscopically, within a median of 3 and 10 days, respectively, of stroke onset, using standardized methods and diagnostic criteria. All patients were followed up prospectively for 6 months for the occurrence of death, recurrent stroke, chest infection, recovery of swallowing function, and return to normal diet. RESULTS: At presentation, a swallowing abnormality was detected clinically in 65 patients (51%; 95% CI, 42% to 60%) and videofluoroscopically in 82 patients (64%; 95% CI, 55% to 72%). During the subsequent 6 months, 26 patients (20%; 95% CI, 14% to 28%) suffered a chest infection. At 6 months after stroke, 97 of the 112 survivors (87%; 95% CI, 79% to 92%) had returned to their prestroke diet. Clinical evidence of a swallowing abnormality was present in 56 patients (50%; 95% CI, 40% to 60%). Videofluoroscopy was performed at 6 months in 67 patients who had a swallowing abnormality at baseline; it showed penetration of the false cords in 34 patients and aspiration in another 17. The single independent baseline predictor of chest infection during the 6-month follow-up period was a delayed or absent swallowing reflex (detected by videofluoroscopy). The single independent predictor of failure to return to normal diet was delayed oral transit (detected by videofluoroscopy). Independent predictors of the combined outcome event of swallowing impairment, chest infection, or aspiration at 6 months were videofluoroscopic evidence of delayed oral transit and penetration of contrast into the laryngeal vestibule, age >70 years, and male sex. CONCLUSIONS: Swallowing function should be assessed in all acute stroke patients because swallowing dysfunction is common, it persists in many patients, and complications frequently arise. The assessment of swallowing function should be both clinical and videofluoroscopic. The clinical and videofluoroscopic features at presentation that are important predictors of subsequent swallowing abnormalities and complications are videofluoroscopic evidence of delayed oral transit, a delayed or absent swallow reflex, and penetration. These findings require validation in other studies.  (+info)

Hypoglossal nerve injury as a complication of anterior surgery to the upper cervical spine. (3/1000)

Injury to the hypoglossal nerve is a recognised complication after soft tissue surgery in the upper part of the anterior aspect of the neck, e.g. branchial cyst or carotid body tumour excision. However, this complication has been rarely reported following surgery of the upper cervical spine. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with tuberculosis of C2-3. She underwent corpectomy and fusion from C2 to C5 using iliac crest bone graft, through a left anterior oblique incision. She developed hypoglossal nerve palsy in the immediate postoperative period, with dysphagia and dysarthria. It was thought to be due to traction neurapraxia with possible spontaneous recovery. At 18 months' follow-up, she had a solid fusion and tuberculosis was controlled. The hypoglossal palsy persisted, although with minimal functional disability. The only other reported case of hypoglossal lesion after anterior cervical spine surgery in the literature also failed to recover. It is concluded that hypoglossal nerve palsy following anterior cervical spine surgery is unlikely to recover spontaneously and it should be carefully identified.  (+info)

Palliation of dysphagia from inoperable oesophageal carcinoma using Atkinson tubes or self-expanding metal stents. (4/1000)

Until recently, intubation for the palliation of malignant dysphagia has relied upon the insertion of a variety of plastic tubes. Self-expanding metal stents are reported to have a lower complication rate. We have compared the results of Atkinson tube insertion with self-expanding metal stents in patients with inoperable oesophageal carcinoma. From 1990 to 1994 Atkinson tubes were inserted for the palliation of dysphagia from oesophageal cancer, from 1994 onwards self-expanding metal stents were used. Complications, mortality and hospital stay were compared in both groups of patients. In all, 87 patients with inoperable oesophageal carcinoma were treated, 46 with an Atkinson tube and 41 with metal stents. Complications occurred at similar rates in both groups (56% Atkinson tubes, 44% metal stents). There was a significantly higher perforation rate associated with Atkinson tube insertion (8 patients, 17%) compared with metal stents (1 patient, 2.4%, P = 0.02, chi 2). The length of stay was also significantly higher in the Atkinson tube group (median 10 days) compared with the metal stent group (3 days, P < 0.01, Mann-Whitney U test). Mortality rates were similar in both groups. The use of metal stents for the palliation of dysphagia in inoperable oesophageal carcinoma results in a lower perforation rate and a reduced length of stay and they represent a significant advantage over Atkinson tubes.  (+info)

Radiation-induced esophageal carcinoma 30 years after mediastinal irradiation: case report and review of the literature. (5/1000)

A 54-year-old man who had been irradiated in 1964 for cervical involvement by Hodgkin's disease was admitted in December 1994 to our clinic with strong complaints of dysphagia. The reason was a moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the proximal esophagus in the previously irradiated region. The patient had no risk factors (abuse of nicotine or alcohol) for the developement of esophageal carcinoma. A reirradiation was performed, but the disease progressed locally and two weeks after the beginning of the therapy the patient developed two tracheoesophagocutaneous fistulae. The radiation therapy was discontinued and the tumor stenosis was bridged by a tube closing the fistulae. A retrospective dose analysis to evaluate the applied doses will be performed. Furthermore, an overview of 66 cases of the literature with radiation-induced esophageal carcinoma analysed concerning applied dose and latent interval will be given. In conclusion the reported case fits the criteria for radiation-induced malignancies (Chudecki Br J Radiol 1972;45:303-4) known from literature: (1) a history of previous irradiation, (2) a cancer occurring within the irradiated area, (3) gross tissue damage due to an excessive dose of radiation, and (4) a long latent interval between irradiation and development of cancer. Esophageal carcinomas belong to the rare secondary malignancies after the therapeutic use of ionizing radiation. Nevertheless in patients with dysphagia they should be suspected as a differential diagnosis even many years after mediastinal irradiation. The treatment of these tumors is very difficult and is associated with a poor prognosis.  (+info)

Feeding problems in merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy. (6/1000)

Feeding difficulties were assessed in 14 children (age range 2-14 years) with merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy, a disease characterised by severe muscle weakness and inability to achieve independent ambulation. Twelve of the 14 children were below the 3rd centile for weight. On questioning, all parents thought their child had difficulty chewing, 12 families modified the diet, and 13 children took at least 30 minutes to complete a meal. On examination the mouth architecture was abnormal in 13 children. On videofluoroscopy only the youngest child (2 years old), had a normal study. The others all had an abnormal oral phase (breakdown and manipulation of food and transfer to oropharynx). Nine had an abnormal pharyngeal phase, with a delayed swallow reflex. Three of these also showed pooling of food in the larynx and three showed frank aspiration. These six cases all had a history of recurrent chest infections. Six of eight children who had pH monitoring also had gastro-oesophageal reflux. As a result of the study five children had a gastrostomy, which stopped the chest infections and improved weight gain. This study shows that children with merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy have difficulties at all stages of feeding that progress with age. Appropriate intervention can improve weight gain and reduce chest infections. The severity of the problem has not been previously appreciated in this disease, and the study shows the importance of considering the nutritional status in any child with a primary muscle disorder.  (+info)

Posterior sternoclavicular dislocations--a diagnosis easily missed. (7/1000)

Posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a relatively rare injury and can be difficult to diagnose acutely. We report 3 cases of posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint who presented to the Accident & Emergency Department within a 3 month period. All 3 patients had sustained a significant injury to the shoulder region and complained of pain around the medial clavicle. Two patients had also complained of dysphagia following the injury. Plain X-rays of the shoulder and chest were reported as normal by junior and senior medical staff. The diagnosis was delayed until CT scans were performed, and once this was established, open reduction and stabilisation was performed.  (+info)

Octreotide in refractory functional epigastric pain with nutritional impairment--an open study. (8/1000)

AIM: To test the therapeutic efficacy of octreotide administered subcutaneously for the relief of chronic refractory epigastric pain severe enough to provoke nutritional impairment. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Seventeen patients were enrolled in an open trial. Epigastric pain had lasted from 1 to 8 years (median: 5 years), following anti-reflux surgery in eight patients. Median weight loss was 10% (range 10-15). The initial dose of octreotide was 50 microgram b.d, adjusted during the follow-up visits which were scheduled for months 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 12 and every 3 months. At each visit, overall symptomatic improvement, frequency and intensity of symptoms were checked on a 10-cm visual analogic scale. RESULTS: At month 1, a progressive improvement of pain intensity was reported in 15 of the 17 patients, while octreotide was a therapeutic failure in two. In four out of 15, the daily dose of octreotide was increased to 100 microgram b.d. In these 15 patients, median follow-up was 7 months (3-27). The symptomatic benefit was maintained in each patient at month 3, with a median weight gain of 3.5 kg.2-5 An attempt to stop octreotide led to recurrence of symptoms in 2-3 days which were as intense as before the treatment. The 11 patients followed-up for at least 6 months reported persistent improvement of symptoms with octreotide and a median weight gain of 4 kg.3-7 Four patients were followed up for more 11-27 months: octreotide was withdrawn gradually in two who remained asymptomatic. Six of the 17 patients experienced minor side-effects, but none developed biliary sludge. CONCLUSIONS: This open study suggests that octreotide could be a promising alternative treatment when all others fail in refractory chronic functional epigastric pain severe enough to limit food intake and to induce nutritional impairment. These results must be tested by a placebo-controlled study.  (+info)

Mild to Moderate Dysphagia Following Very Low-dose Abobotulinumtoxin A for Platysmal BandsMild to Moderate Dysphagia Following Very Low-dose Abobotulinumtoxin A for Platysmal Bands
Onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox) can be a safe and successful off-label treatment of vertical platysma bands of various severities. Due to risk of the botulinum toxin diffusing to the underlying anatomic structures such as the deglutition muscles, the larynx, and the neck flexors, a maximal dose of 100 units has been suggested and there have been no known reports of untoward effects with doses less than 60 units. We present a case of mild to moderate dysphagia in a patient after very low doses of Abobutulinumtoxin (60 units, equivalent to 20 units of Onabotulinumtoxin using a 3:1 conversion ratio). We speculate that the adverse effects noted may be due to several possibilities, such as diffusion, injection technique, or intravascular injection. Thus, although botulinum toxin-A is generally considered a safe off-label treatment for vertical platysma bands, readers should still be aware of the possible side-effects even with low dose use, as supported by our case report of mild to moderate dysphagia with

Dysphagia | ACG PatientsDysphagia | ACG Patients
The first step is to distinguish between oropharyngeal dysphagia and esophageal dysphagia from the patients symptoms. The evaluation begins with a careful history from the patient, which can provide direction towards the cause of dysphagia in the majority of patients. Tests performed on patients with dysphagia depend on whether the doctor thinks that the patient has oropharyngeal or esophageal dysphagia.. Investigation of oropharyngeal dysphagia starts with a careful neurologic examination to identify which nerves and muscles might be abnormal. Swallowing function testing of the mouth and throat can be performed with videofluoroscopy or modified barium swallow. This test involves giving the patient food items of different consistency (e.g. cookie, marshmallow) containing barium and observing the swallow on an x-ray screen (fluoroscopy). This test can show if the barium enters the larynx (opening to the breathing tube) while attempting to swallow, or if it passes normally through the upper ...
Clinical Trials Registry | Internet Stroke CenterClinical Trials Registry | Internet Stroke Center
Participants were recruited who had chronic moderate to severe dysphagia following stroke or radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. Their frequency of swallowing was transduced with an accelerometer placed on the skin over the thyroid cartilage and inductive plethysmography bands placed over the rib cage and abdomen. When laryngeal elevation coincided with respiratory apnea a swallow was marked. Five different motor frequencies were evaluated to determine their effect on participants frequency of swallowing (swallows per minute). Frequencies were 30, 70, 110, and 150 Hz and a combination of 70 and 110 Hz. For each vibratory frequency the number of swallows per minute occurring during stimulation was compared with sham when the participant was wearing the device but the motor was not turned on. The frequency fo swallowing during stimulation was compared with the frequency of swallowing between stimulations. Visual analogue ratings of the urge to swallow and discomfort were also measured ...

Dysphagia is a common complication following ACSS. While several instruments are available for assessing dysphagia, none are particularly well designed for the ACSS population.3,16 A standardized tool that allows quantifiable assessment of dysphagia is needed to allow evaluation of dysphagia rates between studies. Although validated, the SWAL-QOL is lengthy and cumbersome to complete, particularly for patients undergoing ACSS with relatively minor swallowing impairment. As such, the purpose of this paper was to develop a concise, yet clinically relevant survey for use in patients undergoing ACSS.. The results of this study suggest that the SWAL-QOL survey in its full form is not necessary to detect swallowing changes in the ACSS population. Several sections and individual questions demonstrated little to no change from preoperative to postoperative values, indicating the severity of dysphagia following ACSS is not as extreme as the dysphagia in the population for which the SWAL-QOL was ...

However, limited objective evidence has emerged to clarify factors that contribute to this symptom. Three hundred and fifteen patient records from an outpatient dysphagia clinic were reviewed to identify patients with symptoms of food sticking in the throat. Corresponding videofluoroscopic swallowing studies for patients with this complaint were reviewed for the following variables: accuracy of symptom localization, identification and characteristics (anatomic, physiologic) of an explanatory cause for the symptom, and the specific swallowed material that identified the explanatory cause. One hundred and forty one patients (45 %) were identified ...
Predicting respiratory hospital admissions in young people with cerebral palsy | Archives of Disease in ChildhoodPredicting respiratory hospital admissions in young people with cerebral palsy | Archives of Disease in Childhood
This study identified carer-reported or self-reported predictors of future respiratory hospital admissions over 3 years in young people with CP. Six of the factors are potentially modifiable: oropharyngeal dysphagia, respiratory symptoms with meals, seizures, frequent respiratory symptoms, GORD and nightly snoring. The other three are non-modifiable markers of risk that should alert clinicians, and trigger evaluation and management of modifiable risk factors: GMFCS V classification, at least one respiratory admission in the previous year, and two or more courses of antibiotics in the previous year.. The strongest modifiable risk factor for respiratory hospitalisations was oropharyngeal dysphagia. This was defined as nutritional intake via a tube and/or use of modified textures and/or reported choking or coughing on saliva. These symptoms indicate motor or sensory dysfunction at the oropharyngeal level, affecting the ability to prepare and manipulate a bolus or secretions, and to coordinate ...

Feeding difficulties such as dysphagia, coughing, choking, or vomiting during meals, slow eating, oral aversion, food refusal, and stressful mealtimes are common in children with repaired esophageal atresia (EA) and the reasons for this are often multifactorial. The aim of this review is to describe the possible underlying mechanisms contributing to feeding difficulties in patients with EA and approaches to management. Underlying mechanisms for these feeding difficulties include esophageal dysphagia, oropharyngeal dysphagia and aspiration, and aversions related to prolonged gastrostomy tube feeding. The initial diagnostic evaluation for feeding difficulties in a patient with EA may involve an esophagram, videofluoroscopic imaging or fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation during swallowing, upper endoscopy with biopsies, pH-impedance testing, and/or esophageal motility studies. The main goal of management is to reduce the factors contributing to feeding difficulties and may include reducing esophageal stasis,

Indirect or inconsistent means of OPD case identification have regularly been utilised in studies, with OPD identified through parent report,12 ,13 ,15-17 chart reviews5 ,17 and non-standardised assessments.21-23 ,25 The variability in the method of case identification limits comparisons between these studies, and makes it difficult to estimate the true prevalence of OPD in the paediatric CP population. Parents have been shown to underestimate the presence of impaired feeding skills compared to formal clinical evaluation,14 so prevalence data using these methods may represent an underestimate of the true population prevalence of OPD. Most parent questionnaires in the reported studies lacked adequate validity and reliability data, reducing confidence in these results.12 ,13 ,15-17. The generalisability of prevalence estimates of OPD to the general population of children with CP has been limited in most studies due to a focus on feeding skills in children with moderate-severe gross motor ...

FURKIM, Ana Maria; BEHLAU, Mara Suzana and WECKX, Luc Louis Maurice. Clinical and videofluoroscopic evaluation of deglutition in children with tetraparetic spastic cerebral palsy. Arq. Neuro-Psiquiatr. [online]. 2003, vol.61, n.3A, pp.611-616. ISSN 0004-282X. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0004-282X2003000400016.. Cerebral palsy is a condition that may be associated with swallowing disorders, that is, oropharingeal dysphagia. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the swallowing processes of 32 children with this condition, by clinical and videofluoroscopic evaluation, with special focus on tracheal aspiration detectability. Results show an important compromise of oral phase. The most important findings during the pharyngeal phase were velopharingeal incompetence and residuals on the pharyngeal recesses. Aspiration was more common with liquids, before and after deglutition. On clinical and videofluoroscopic evaluation, cervical hyperextension was the commonest postural abnormality. ...

Swallowing impairment is common, particularly with the aging patient population. The videofluroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) examination is an effective means of evaluating patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia. VFSS performance best practice includes a collaborative, interdisciplinary team consisting of a speech-language pathologist and an engaged radiologist. Several different diet textures mixed with barium are given to the patient to swallow during this test to determine the safety of the swallow, areas of weakness or immobility, and recommendations of exercises or strategies for the patient to start doing at home in order to improve their swallowing function. It might be recommended the patient receive outpatient speech services address the swallow disfunction to work on exercises and modifications ...

Background/Aims: Swallowing difficulties are common after radiation therapy (RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC). The overall aim of this thesis was to address radiation-induced late dysphagia with regard to investigating anatomical risk structures related to the development of radiation-induced dysphagia, as well as methodological aspects in the evaluation of swallowing. Another objective was to translate and validate the quality of care instrument Swallowing Quality of Care questionnaire (SWAL-CARE) in a mixed Swedish dysphagia population. Methods: The studies were conducted at the Sahlgenska University Hospital and included patients from the otorhinolaryngology clinic. In study I-III, patients who had received curative (chemo)RT for HNC underwent a videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing function (VFS) 6-36 months post-RT. Dysphagia severity was measured according to the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS). All patients answered questions regarding difficulties when drinking, eating, ...

The study, conducted across the country, investigated risk factors for developing dysphagia (swallowing dysfunction), after undergoing radiotherapy treatment for a head & neck cancer. "We followed 1,476 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and found out the existence of factors related to the cancer itself, to the patient and to the treatment influencing the development of dysphagia," said Dr Mortensen.. Dysphagia may be acute (starting in direct association with treatment) or late (starting months to years after treatment). Risk factors for developing severe acute dysphagia were large tumours, spreading of cancer cells to the lymph nodes, swallowing problems at the time of diagnosis, 6 treatments per week and tumour location other than the vocal cords. Risk factors for developing late dysphagia were large tumours, swallowing problems at the time of diagnosis and tumour location other than the vocal cords.. 83% of all head & neck cancer patients develop some kind of ...

Risk for aspiration or frank aspiration will be based on the medical history and evidence from a videofluoroscopic swallowing study. Absence of aspiration is not cause for exclusion if the risk for aspiration is deemed present due to impaired pharyngeal phase of swallowing as judged by an expert experienced in the evaluation of dysphagia. The patient may demonstrate evidence of aspiration or the risk for aspiration on any consistency, perhaps secondary to pharyngeal retention. Aspiration is defined as passage of food, liquid, or secretions into the trachea below the level of the vocal folds. If the patient does not demonstrate either aspiration or a risk for aspiration in previous assessment or during preliminary studies, they will be excluded from participation.. Impaired pharyngeal phase of swallowing may be evidenced by pharyngeal delay, reduced hyolaryngeal elevation, reduced laryngeal closure, and reduced pharyngeal clearance of the bolus. Signs of pharyngeal delay include hesitation of the ...

We report our experience with a case of attempted suicidal hanging presenting with dysphagia, in which rehabilitation approaches resulted in improvement. A 36-year-old man was discovered collapsed at home. From the finding of a broken cord nearby, attempted suicide by hanging was suspected. He was transported to hospital after 40 minutes, and regained consciousness after emergency treatment. There were no noteworthy findings on brain magnetic resonance imaging, cervical spine computed tomography, or vocal cord examination. There were no noteworthy psychiatric disorders or cognitive abnormalities. On hospital day 10, he showed signs of dysphagia. Videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing revealed piriform sinuses residue and aspiration after ingestion of jelly in any posture. Rehabilitation approaches were started based on the diagnosis of dysphagia due to impaired transit through the piriform sinuses. The patient achieved independent oral intake by 40 days after the injury. In this case, ...

INTRODUCTION: Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a major disorder following stroke. OD can produce alterations in both the efficacy and safety of deglutition and may result in malnutrition, dehydration, frailty, respiratory infections and pneumonia. These complications can be avoided by early detection and treatment of OD in poststroke patients, and hospital stays, medication and mortality rates can be reduced. In addition to acute in-hospital costs from OD complications, there are other costs related to poststroke OD such as direct non-healthcare costs or indirect costs. The objective of this systematic review is to assess and summarise literature on the costs related to OD in poststroke patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A systematic review of studies on the cost of OD and its complications (aspiration, malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia and death) in patients who had a stroke will be performed from the perspectives of the hospital, the healthcare system and/or the society. The main ...

The team asked patients with esophageal cancer to rate their own state of health, as well as of 3 standardized scenarios: local, regional, and metastatic disease.. They evaluated 50 patients with esophageal cancer. The physicians found that using the time trade-off method, the utilities of patients own health state were 0.80 for localized, 0.54 for regional, and 0.52 for metastatic cancer. There was no significant difference in mean utility scores for the 3 staging groups. Visual analog scale and EQ-5D gave statistically similar values to time trade-off. The team found that patients consistently rated their own utility better than the utility of standardized scenarios with similar stage and prognosis. They also found that regardless of their staging, patients with high dysphagia scores rated their utility worse than patients with low dysphagia scores.. Dr Stephan Wildi and colleagues concluded, "These results confirm the perceived poor state of health of patients with esophageal cancer and are ...

Pediatric Dysphagia: Incidence and PrevalencePediatric Dysphagia: Incidence and Prevalence
The incidence of pediatric dysphagia refers to the number of new cases identified in a specified time period. The prevalenceof pediatric dysphagia refers to the number of children who are living with pediatric dysphagia in a given time period. Estimated reports of the incidence and prevalence of pediatric feeding/swallowing impairment vary widely due to multiple factors, such as variations in the populations sampled, how feeding and/or swallowing impairment is defined, and the choice of assessment methods and measures (Arvedson, 2008; Lefton-Greif, 2008). Pediatric feeding and/or swallowing impairment incidence and prevalence data from the review papers cited below reflect this high variability. ...

Outcome of palliative esophageal stenting for malignant dysphagia: A r by M. Burstow, T. Kelly et al."Outcome of palliative esophageal stenting for malignant dysphagia: A r" by M. Burstow, T. Kelly et al.
Greater than 50% of patients with esophageal carcinoma are found to be incurable at the time of diagnosis, leaving only palliative options. Self-expanding metal stents (SEMs) are effective for relieving symptoms and complications associated with esophageal carcinoma and improving quality of life. We undertook a retrospective analysis to evaluate the experience of palliative esophageal stenting for symptomatic malignant dysphagia in our institution over a period of 7 years. Between January 1999 and January 2006, 126 patients who received SEMs for malignant dysphagia were identified using an upper gastrointestinal specialist nurse clinician database. Data were obtained from patient case notes, endoscopy, histopathology, radiology, and external agency databases. Of the 126 identified, 36 patients were excluded from the analysis. A number of variables including age, sex, presenting complaints, type of stent, indications of stenting, success or failure of stent insertion, survival rate, and complication rate
Cortical recovery of swallowing function in wound botulism | BMC Neurology | Full TextCortical recovery of swallowing function in wound botulism | BMC Neurology | Full Text
In this study we observed an increase of insula activation and involvement of the PPC conjoint with decreased activation of the somatosensory system during self-paced swallowing in a patient suffering from severe dysphagia due to botulism intoxication. A second measurement after clinical recovery showed cortical swallowing processing in the primary and secondary sensorimotor system as well as declined insula activation comparable to the results of a group of healthy control subjects.. To distinguish whether the changed swallowing behaviour is altering brain activation or whether cortical changes are driving the altered behaviour a slow swallowing task was performed by one of the control subjects. This imitation of impaired swallowing behaviour resulted in a slight increase of EMG power, while wavelet and SAM results where comparable to those in the normal swallowing task. We therefore conclude that the changed behaviour in deglutition alone cannot explain the observed changes in cortical ...

Its origin is considered as either oropharyngeal or oesophageal. Oropharyngeal dysphagia is usually related to neuromuscular dysfunction and is commonly caused by stroke. Oesophageal dysphagia is usually due to motor disorders, such as achalasia or diffuse oesophageal spasm, and to peptic oesophageal strictures often secondary to reflux. In this type of dysphagia there is a sensation of a hold-up, which may be experienced in either the cervical or retrosternal region.1 Causes are usually classified as functional, mechanical and neurological (see Table 48.1). ...

Aim Hospital‐associated dysphagia, characterized by deconditioning of swallowing as a result of hospitalization, is sometimes observed in patients with aspiration pneumonia (AP). Cognitive impairment is known as a negative factor in dysphagia rehabilitation. The present study aimed to examine the association between cognitive impairment and hospital‐associated dysphagia in patients with AP receiving dysphagia rehabilitation. Methods A retrospective observational study was carried out in an acute geriatric hospital. A total of 249 AP patients receiving multidisciplinary individualized dysphagia rehabilitation were included. Patients were divided into four groups according to their Mini‐Mental State Examination scores. The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) was used to assess swallowing ability, and hospital‐associated dysphagia was defined as a FOIS decline of ≥1 or ≥2 levels. Body mass index and Barthel Index were obtained to assess nutritional status and activities of daily living. ...

To manage a case accurately, the SLP must differentiate among the signs and markers that typically accompany the adverse medical outcomes of dysphagia and determine which are more likely to have been caused by dysphagia and which are more likely due to other conditions. SLPs typically are charged with determining whether their patients have dysphagia-related aspiration pneumonia (DAP), non-dysphagia-related aspiration pneumonia (NDAP), community-acquired pneumonia, health care-associated (nosocomial) pneumonia, or aspiration pneumonitis (the correct diagnosis in our sample case). Physicians often take SLPs written reports and recommendations as direct evidence supporting medical and surgical interventions, whether or not that evaluation was sufficiently thorough in the analysis of case information outside of the SLPs traditional comfort zone. This knowledge of pulmonary physiology and diseases is not covered in SLPs training, but clinicians must embrace this knowledge to assess accurately the ...

Speech or occupational therapy can be helpful for some children. These therapists can give your child exercises to help make swallowing more effective, or suggest techniques for feeding that may help improve swallowing problems.. Infants and children with dysphagia are often able to swallow thick fluids and soft foods (such as baby foods or pureed foods) better than thin liquids. Some infants who had trouble swallowing formula will do better when they are old enough to eat baby foods. The following suggestions should also be considered when caring for a child with dysphagia:. ...

by Roberto Verzaro, Professor of General Surgery in the Degree Course in Midwifery at UniCamillus. Dysphagia is a clinical condition that often occurs after surgery, especially if complex or if the patient has had a prolonged period of orotracheal intubation. It consists of a defect in deglutition, that complex physiological act that allows the transport of food from the oral cavity to the stomach.. Post-surgery dysphagia can be normal and occurs due to transient dysfunction of the mechanisms responsible for deglutition. In this case we speak of post-surgery dysphagia. If the dysphagia persists and is due to a lesion of the organs responsible for deglutition, the patient suffers, however, from post-surgery dysphagia which represents a complication or an inevitable consequence of surgery.. Post-surgery dysphagia occurs after surgery performed for pathology of the oral cavity, pharyngeal cavity or after surgery performed on organs such as the esophagus and stomach. However, it is important to ...

Dysphagia lusoria is a well documented complication of variant aortic arch anatomy. Typically it is associated with an aberrant right subclavian artery causing dysphagia by compression. The word lusoria originates from the Latin origin lusus naturae, meaning freak of nature. Dysphagia as a result of tortuous and ectatic anatomy of the carotid vessels is rare. We have identified a few similar cases, including one from 2010 1, which describes a medially coursing left internal carotid artery resulting in difficulty swallowing. It appears that dysphagia, as a result of common carotid ectasia is even rarer, with only a couple of cases appearing in literature2 ...

In our everyday lives, we are faced with many health challenges. These normally happen because of lack of knowledge. We can only know what is ailing us we go for consultations from specialists. A simple exercise like Swallowing can bring us severe health effects if not properly done. You need to ensure that such problems do not reach you by conducting a Swallow Study.. This study makes use of x-rays to establish and record what happens in your body during the process of Swallowing. It can either be a Barium test used or a videofloroscopic which is a modification of Barium. The aim is to prevent you from dysphagia which can lead to many other harmful effects. Some symptoms of this disorder can be food sticking in your throat and certain breathing problems.. Some health problems can lead to dysphagia. Such problems include, mouth sores, muscular dystrophy, stroke, conditions that decrease saliva as well as other major dental problems. Aspiration can easily result when you have this condition. ...
Difficulty Swallowing (Dysphagia) - Endoscopy Center of Santa FeDifficulty Swallowing (Dysphagia) - Endoscopy Center of Santa Fe
If youve suffered from heartburn or acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for a long time, you may begin to feel discomfort as food passes through the esophagus. It can feel as if you have a lump in your throat or that food is stuck in your throat or chest. You may also experience a choking sensation when you swallow food. Difficulty swallowing, also known as dysphagia, is the feeling of food "sticking" in your throat or chest and is one of the complications of acid reflux/GERD. When acid reflux occurs, acid flows back into your esophagus causing irritation and discomfort. With chronic acid reflux/GERD, this is happening frequently causing irritation to the esophagus, which can lead to other complications such as dysphagia. Symptoms of Dysphagia ...

A 67-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma of the lung, who previously received chemotherapy and radiation therapy, presented with acute-onset right lower extremity weakness. She began radiation therapy to the lumbar spine after MRI demonstrated spinal cord compression. She then developed sudden-onset difficulty with swallowing approximately 6 hours after taking her scheduled morning medications. Of note, she had no prior known difficulties with eating. A barium swallow study revealed narrowing in the mid-thoracic oesophagus with an associated filling defect, reflecting the presence of a foreign body (figure 1A).

General classifications designate dysphagia defined by location: stage l is oral; stage ll is pharyngeal; stage lll is esophageal. Oral dysphagia occurs when there is difficulty with the voluntary transfer of food from the mouth to the pharynx, at the back of the throat. This may happen when a person forgets how to chew or how to move the food out of the mouth to the back of the throat so as to be ready to be swallowed, or when there are problems involving teeth, such as when there arent enough of them. Food and pills can remain in the mouth for hours. Dementia is the most common cause of oral dysphagia. In stage ll dysphagia, there is a problem with the transfer of food from the pharynx into the esophagus. The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that keeps food from entering the trachea, the windpipe, during swallowing. Proper closure directs the food into the esophagus. The most common cause of stage ll dysphagia is stroke or Parkinsons disease. The danger when this occurs is the risk of ...
Garys Mission: Just forward my mail to ChildrensGary's Mission: Just forward my mail to Childrens
We got to the ER this morning at 9am. They did a chest xray and a swallow test. Gary did not like the swallow test. It was different from the last time. They strapped him down on a board and had him drink. You can cleary see the liquid going up into his nasal cavity. The silly radiologist doctors tried to tell me it was not related to the disease. I looked at them with one eyebrow raised and started firing questions. They tried to swim in the Lake of Confidence. They are lucky I am a God fearing patient woman LOL! Although the poor volunteer who escorted us got an earful when we headed back. Gary is having nothing by mouth. They are fearing he may aspirate on food or drink. A protection of his airway as been ordered which they implement with nothing by mouth. There is talk of putting a feeding tube in until Monday when the other departments open up. I am going to fight that if I can but if they have to they have to. He is begging for water which I cant give him. His overall weakness is ...

The first three articles of this Perspectives focused on skills involved in formulating and documenting the execution of a dysphagia plan of care. These topics will not only serve as a best practice update to practicing speech-language pathologists (SLPs), but will also be of significant value to students learning dysphagia best practice. Patrick Henley leads the discussion on the SLPs skills in utilizing both behavioral and physiological frameworks in the formulation and documentation of a dysphagia plan of care. Nancy Swigert elaborated on the professionalism and skill that clinicians must practice when documenting their sessions with patients so that their notes can provide justice to the excellent, high-quality of care that they strive to provide to their patients. Advocating for, addressing, and treating feeding and swallowing disorders in a school setting can be supported significantly by the approach clinicians take to document services provided.
