Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6), an autosomal dominant triplet repeat disease, predominantly affects the cerebellum with a late onset and generally good prognosis. Dysphagia is commonly associated with the outcomes of neurodegenerative diseases such as SCA6. Although the characteristics of dysphagia have been rarely reported in SCA6, our previous study indicated that dysphagia is generally milder...
Abnormal swallowing, dysphagia, is a potentially fatal symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is characterized by frequent silent aspiration, an unrecognized risk of suffocation and aspiration pneumonia. Several studies have reported that the injection of apomorphine, a dopamine agonist, alleviated dysphagia in some patients with PD. The effects of other antiparkinson medications against dysphagia...
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders frequently associated with autosomal dominant inheritance. SCA type 3 (SCA3) and SCA type 6 (SCA6) are the most common forms in Japan as well as the rest of the world. SCA3 affects multiple nervous systems while SCA6 affects mainly the cerebellar system. Dysphagia is clinically important since aspiration pneumonia is the most...
