Pharyngeal muscle movement disorder

Introduction

Introduction The motor disorder of the pharynx is divided into two cases: sputum and sputum. The former includes soft palate and pharyngeal muscle spasm and pharyngeal muscle spasm. Causes the pharyngeal muscles to move normally, that is, the pharyngeal muscles and movement disorders. According to the medical history and examination, the disease can be diagnosed, but the cause of the disease must be found, and fiberoptic laryngoscopy and imaging examination should be performed to exclude the laryngeal and pharyngeal organic lesions. The cause of pharyngeal muscle dyskinesia is common in medullary lesions caused by various causes.

Cause

Cause

The cause of pharyngeal muscle dyskinesia is common in medullary lesions caused by various causes, such as tumor, hemorrhage or thrombosis, inflammatory lesions, syringomyelia, syphilis and so on. Or due to the damage of the glossopharyngeal nerve, the pharyngeal muscles can not move normally, and the patient may have pharyngeal functional dyskinesia. If you take antipsychotics or antidepressants for a long time or suddenly stop using antipsychotics, it can also cause pharyngeal muscle dyskinesia.

Examination of pharyngeal muscle dyskinesia:

Electromyography is a routine method of examination. Through this examination, the functional status of peripheral nerves, neurons, neuromuscular junctions, and muscles themselves can be determined.

The patient can also perform MRI examination of the nasopharynx. This method is more comprehensive than CT for the normal anatomy and pathological anatomy of the nasopharynx.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

diagnosis:

According to the medical history and examination, the disease can be diagnosed, but the cause of the disease must be found, and fiberoptic laryngoscopy and imaging examination should be performed to exclude the laryngeal and pharyngeal organic lesions.

Pharyngeal muscle dyskinesia is confusing symptoms:

The disease must be combined with medical history and clinical symptoms to diagnose the disease. X-ray tincture fluoroscopy or permission to detect dysphagia caused by sputum, fiber laryngoscopy or fiber esophagoscopy can rule out obstruction caused by organic lesions.
