    Notes: Abstract Among 614 dysphagial patients radiologically examined with single films and cineradiography of the pharynx during barium swallow, 24 (3.9%) had a web-like formation in the valleculae. In 99 nondysphagial volunteers examined with cineradiography, 5 (5%) had such vallecular webs. Macroscopic examination of 190 autopsy specimens indicated that 17 (8.9%) had vallecular webs. On macro- and microscopic examination it was revealed that the web was due to a mucosal fold covering a vessel and/or lymphatic tissue. It is evident that these folds have no causal relation to dysphagia and do not cause epiglottic dysmobility during swallow.

    Notes: Abstract Pressure changes were registered with videomanometry (simultaneous manometry and barium swallow) in the pharynx and in the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES) during swallowing. A considerable longitudinal asymmetry was found. Peak pressure was highest in the PES, lower in the inferior constrictor area, and lowest at the level of the tongue base. The rate of pressure rise was highest at the level of the PES. The speed of propagation of the contraction wave was 13 (±2) cm/sec. There was no correlation between the measured variables (i.e., peak pressure, rate of pressure rise, and speed of contracting wave). Our findings can partly be explained by different mechanical constraints at different levels of the pharynx but may also reflect the organization of neural control of swallowing in the brainstem. Knowledge of transducer position and orientation is essential for the evaluation of pharyngeal pressure during swallowing. Such knowledge is best achieved by performing manometry simultaneously with fluoroscopy, i.e., videomanometry.

    Notes: Abstract. This is a prospective study of 100 consecutive stroke patients. Within 24 h after stroke onset they were asked specifically about swallowing complaints and subjected to a clinical examination including neurologic examination, Mini-Mental test, and Barthel score. Dysphagic patients were examined with the repetitive oral suction swallow test (the ROSS test) for quantitative evaluation of oral and pharyngeal function at 24 h, after 1 week, and after 1 month. At 6 months, the patients were interviewed about persistent dysphagia. Seventy-two patients could respond reliably at 24 h after the stroke onset and 14 of these complained of dysphagia. Non-evaluable patients were either unconscious, aphasic, or demented. The presence of dysphagia was not influenced by age or other risk factors for stroke. Facial paresis, but no other clinical findings, were associated with dysphagia. Dysphagia 24 h after stroke increased the risk of pneumonia but did not influence the length of hospital stay, the manner of discharge from hospital, or the mortality. The initial ROSS test, during which the seated patient ingests water through a straw, was abnormal in all dysphagic stroke patients. One-third of the patients were unable to perform the test completely. Above all, dysfunction was disclosed during forced, repetitive swallow. All phases of the ingestion cycle were prolonged whereas the suction pressures, bolus volumes, and swallowing capacities were low. Abnormalities of quantitative swallowing variables decreased with time whereas the prevalences of swallowing incoordination and abnormal feeding-respiratory pattern became more frequent. After 6 months, 7 patients had persistent dysphagia. Five of these were initially non-evaluable because of unconsciousness, aphasia, or dementia.

    Notes: Abstract In a retrospective study, a comparison was made between a classification of symptoms and cineradiographic findings to clarify the relevance of roentgenologic findings and thus evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in patients with swallowing disorders. Of 188 patients with swallowing complaints who underwent cineradiography, a total of 152 cases were included in the study at follow-up after 4 years. Their symptoms were classified into three groups: (A) a sensation of obstruction during meals, (B) abnormal sensation felt when eating, or (C) a sensation felt when not eating (globus). In group A, 85% (34/40) had roentgenologic pharyngeal abnormalities, compared to 68% (34/50) in group B and 63% (39/62) in group C. Among the various cineradiographic findings, web and cricopharyngeal incoordination were significantly associated with obstructive symptoms. The cineradiographic findings showed good agreement with the results of endoscopic examinations.

    Pharyngeal function after carotid endarterectomy (1989)

    Notes: Abstract Neurologic deficiencies, with special reference to pharyngeal function, were studied prospectively in 12 patients before and after they underwent carotid endarterectomy. Pharyngeal function was monitored with cineradiography. Five patients developed pharyngeal dysfunction: defective closure of the laryngeal vestibule, epiglottic dysmotility, and pharyngeal constrictor paresis 1 week postoperatively. In 2 patients this dysfunction remained, while in 3 it had resolved 4 weeks after the operation. Pharyngeal dysfunction was more common in patients with preoperative minor stroke and a temporary perioperative carotid shunt and in patients with a long operation time. The registered transient pharyngeal dysfunction may be due to manipulation of the cervical structures including the vagus nerve and the pharynx or due to cerebrovascular damage during the operation. Our findings support careful monitoring of postoperative oral feeding in patients at risk.

    Notes: Abstract Disturbances in swallowing are common in neurologic disease but difficult to evaluate in the clinical setting. Fundamental variables such as bolus volume, swallow capacity (volume ingested over time), and the relation between ingestion and time for important events in oral and pharyngeal swallowing have not been sufficiently studied. We therefore employed a composite method for monitoring oral and pharyngeal swallowing function: the test of Repetitive Oral Suction Swallow (the ROSS test). The technical details are described as well as preliminary results from a pilot study of 20 healthy subjects and 5 patients with neurologic swallowing impairment. The correlation with respect to time sequences for major events in bolus ingestion and oral processing as monitored by the ROSS test and by videoradiography is explained. With this simple and rapid bedside test, the immediate and long-time result of therapeutic interventions in dysphagic patients may be monitored.

    Quantitative aspects of swallowing in an elderly nondysphagic population (1996)

    Notes: Abstract The prevalence of swallowing impairment increases with age and is a major health care problem in the elderly. It has been assumed that age-related changes in nerves and muscles hamper muscle strength and coordination of swallowing. However, it is unclear what impairment is related to primary aging and what is the consequence of diseases prevalent in the elderly (secondary aging). In order to quantify swallowing in nondysphagic elderly we used the noninvasive ROSS (Repetitive Oral Suction Swallow) test. A total of 53 individuals aged 76±5 years (mean±SD) were examined. We found that the nondysphagic elderly demonstrated significant differences compared with young individuals in 10 of 17 measured variables, i.e., decreased peak suction pressure, increased frequency of multiple swallows after one ingestion, increased frequency of polyphasic laryngeal movements, increased frequency of inspiration after swallowing, and increased frequency of coughing during or after swallowing. Therefore, primary aging mainly seems to influence coordination of swallowing, but oral and pharyngeal swallow per se seem to be unaffected.

    Notes: Abstract Pharyngeal constrictor paresis (PHCP) is sometimes found in videoradiography of the swallowing act in patients complaining of dysphagia. Ten patients with PHCP and 10 dysphagic, age- and sex-matched controls with normal videoradiography were neurologically evaluated and examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and brainstem in order to learn the pathogenetic process behind PHCP. The study revealed 8 PHCP patients and 1 dysphagic control with abnormal clinical neurological findings such as myopathy, cerebrovascular disease, or extrapyramidal disease. The neurological examination revealed considerable information of prognostic and therapeutic value in PHCP patients. The MRI was abnormal in 7 PHCP patients and 4 dysphagic controls. However, the findings in MRI were nonspecific but the examination was found to be valuable in selected cases. It is concluded that PHCP is an indicator of neurological disease and accordingly, such patients should be examined by a neurologist to establish the cause of the disease.
