Does botulinum toxin injection in parotid glands interfere with the swallowing dynamics of Parkinson's disease patients?
Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 05/27/09
Nobrega AC et al. - A decrease in sialorrhea was observed in all studied patients. Silent laryngeal penetration was observed in three patients, and silent aspiration was observed in two of them. There were no changes in swallowing dynamics when comparing patients before and after BT-A parotid injection, suggesting similar levels of dysphagia in the two measurements. BT-A injection into parotid glands does not interfere with the oropharyngeal swallowing dynamics of PD patients.
