J NEUROL NEUROSURG PSYCHIATRY , 2001, vol. 70, n° 3, p. 363-371 Doc n°: 99446 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AB31 - DYSTROPHIES MUSCULAIRES, AD35 - DYSPHAGIE Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a common feature of patients with myotonic dystrophy and is not usually perceived due to their emotional deficits and lack of interest. The aim was to show the existence and frequency of subclinical electrophysiological abnormalities in oropharyngeal swallowing and to clarify the mechanisms of dysphagia in myotonic dystrophy. METHODS: Eighteen patients with myotonic dystrophy were examined for oropharyngeal phase of swallowing by clinical and electrophysiological methods. Ten patients had dysphagia whereas 11 patients had signs and symptoms reflecting CNS involvement. Four patients with myotonia congenita and 30 healthy volunteers served as controls. Laryngeal movements were detected by means of a piezoelectric sensor. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001215382 |
