Cranial Nerve Examination for Neurogenic Dysphagia Patients

چکیده
Oropharyngeal dysphagia is commonly associated with neurologic disease, as well as other acute and chronic conditions. Incidence is up to 70% following stroke [1], up to 97% in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [2] and ranges from 55-82% in Parkinson’s disease depending on the method of assessment [3,4]. It is widely accepted that the presence of dysphagia is associated with pulmonary complications, increased hospital length of stay, dehydration, malnutrition and ultimately mortality [5]. Patients who aspirate food and liquids into the airways are at increased risk of developing pneumonia [6].
