چکیده

嚥下障害の臨床現場では,治療・リハビリテーション を行う根拠として,嚥下造影法(VF:videofluoroscopic swallow study),嚥下内視鏡(VE:videoendoscopic evaluation of swallowing)による機能的評価を用いるこ とが多い.さらに嚥下関連筋の効果を評価するために, 筋電図(EMG),嚥下圧測定も実用化されつつある.近 年では,延髄或いは脳神経を電気あるいは磁気刺激によ る筋電図を測定し,下位ニューロンの評価を行う誘発筋 電図も報告されている.嚥下運動の脳機能画像としては, ニューロンの電気活動そのものをみているMEGと, ニューロンの電気活動に伴う脳血流量を間接的に評価す る fMRI,PET,fNIRS に分類される.さらに,咳誘発 検査などの感覚効果器を評価するもの,嚥下障害アウト カムとしての誤嚥を評価するシンチグラフィーなども応 用されている.本稿では嚥下障害評価に使用されている 検査の概要と誤嚥性肺炎のエビデンスについて解説す る.

Pre-stroke undiagnosed dysphagia lusoria as a rare cause of aspiration pneumonia with respiratory failure in a stroke patient

Introduction Dysphagia is a risk factor for aspiration pneumonia and acute respiratory failure in acute stroke patients. Dysphagia lusoria is caused by compression on the esophagus from artery lusoria, when the aberrant right subclavian artery arises from the descending aortic arch. We present a rare case report of pre-stroke undiagnosed dysphagia lusoria as a cause of aspiration pneumonia with...
