A Case of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Presented as Oropharyngeal Dysphagia
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rare disease. It is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscular paralysis reflecting degeneration of motor neurons which leads to muscle weakness and muscle wasting. Respiratory failure limits survival to 2-5 years after disease onset. Several clinical manifestations including dysphagia can result in reductions in both the quality o...
متن کاملPathophysiological mechanisms of oropharyngeal dysphagia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
We investigated the pathophysiological mechanisms of dysphagia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Forty-three patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis were examined by clinical and electrophysiological methods that objectively measured the oropharyngeal phase of voluntarily initiated swallowing, and these results were compared with those obtained from 50 age-matched control subjects....

Peripheral nervous system presentations are rare. A 32-yr-old male patient who fulfilled the international study group criteria for Behçet’s disease, referred to our center with walking difficulty and repeated falling downs. Neurologi...
متن کاملManagement of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
UNLABELLED Standard recommendations for the clinical management of patient with ALS have been edited in recent years. These documents emphasise the importance of patient's autonomy. AIM OF STUDY To measure how these different recommendations can be applied in the context of a general hospital without a specific ALS clinic. METHODS Review of medical records of 21 patients with an ALS diagnos...
متن کاملMulticentre quality control evaluation of different biomarker candidates for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor neuron disease that mainly causes degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons, ultimately leading to paralysis and death within three to five years after first symptoms. The pathological mechanisms leading to ALS are still not completely understood. Several biomarker candidates have been proposed in cerebrospinal fluid (C...
