Vallecular cysts are formed when the duct of a mucous gland or lingual tonsillar crypt is dilated owing to obstruction from inflammation, irritation, or trauma. Small cysts are usually asymptomatic; however, cyst growth results in dysphagia, odynophagia, and acute airway complications. As complete transoral laser excision of a vallecular cyst often results in cyst resolution and improved symptoms,...
The purpose of this study was to compare the swallowing function and kinematics in stroke patients with and without tracheostomies. In this retrospective matched case–control study, we compared stroke patients with (TRACH group, n = 24) and without (NO-TRACH group, n = 24) tracheostomies. Patients were matched for age, sex, and stroke-type. Swallowing function was evaluated using the videofluoroscopic...
The purpose of this study was to investigate swallowing kinematics and explore kinematic factors related with penetration-aspiration in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. Videofluoroscopic images of 68 patients with post-stroke dysphagia and 34 sex- and age-matched healthy controls swallowing a thin liquid were quantitatively analyzed using two-dimensional motion digitization. The measurements included...
Botulinum toxin A is widely used in the clinics to reduce spasticity and improve upper limb function for post-stroke patients. Efficacy and safety of a new botulinum toxin type A, NABOTA (DWP450) in post-stroke upper limb spasticity was evaluated in comparison with Botox (onabotulinum toxin A). A total of 197 patients with post-stroke upper limb spasticity were included in this study and randomly...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate longitudinal changes of the swallowing process in stroke patients with aspiration using kinematic analysis. Twenty-eight subacute stroke patients with aspiration on fluid at initial videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS) were included. Follow-up VFSS was performed at 2-4 weeks after initial studies that were conducted at an average of 26 days after stroke...
