Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:Dysphagia is a frequent problem in various neurological disorders. However, knowledge on swallowing function in patients with cerebral hypoxia is sparse. The objective of this study is to report the development of swallowing function in a series of adolescent and young-adult patients with cerebral hypoxia. METHODS:We recruited eight patients (1 male) who were admitted to our institution after the acute phase following cerebral hypoxia. Each patient underwent detailed neurological evaluation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), standardized neurophysiological assessment and repeated clinical and fiber-endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. Furthermore, all patients received daily physical and occupational therapy and intensive logopedic therapy for swallowing. RESULTS:Mean age in this case series was 19.9±3.6 years (range 16-25). All eight patients initially displayed severe swallowing dysfunction, but the reflexive components of swallowing were intact in seven patients without brainstem lesions. The only patient with additional brainstem involvement initially suffered from absence of an intact swallowing reflex and developed silent aspiration. However, follow-up examinations revealed intact swallowing reflexes in all eight patients. DISCUSSION:Dysphagia is common in patients with cerebral hypoxia, mainly resulting in a delayed oral phase consistent with impaired volitional execution of swallowing. Additional lesions in the brainstem may affect the integrity of the central pattern-generating circuitry for swallowing, resulting in additional dysfunction of the non-volitional reflexive component. In conclusion, dysphagia in patients with cerebral hypoxia is a common complication particularly in the early stages of remission, while long-term prognosis with respect to swallowing is often good. Swallowing function should be closely monitored in patients with acquired brain injury.
