Rheumatology International, 06/02/09
Masiero S et al. – Study concludes that swallowing dynamics alterations may be due to Forestier’s disease.
Methods- Aim was to evaluate the possible physiopathogenetic mechanisms affecting swallowing dynamics in diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) patients with cervical involvement
- 5 cases of dysphagia caused by diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis or Forestier’s disease of the cervical spine are presented
- This was observed by clinical evaluations, X-ray and videofluoroscopy
- Dysphagia in particular was present for solid foods in all pts
- 3 pts showed bolus aspiration into the airways, mainly in the post-swallowing phase
- 1 patient with preserved epiglottic tilt showed post-swallowing penetration
- The physiopathogenetic mechanisms affecting swallowing dynamics were:
- mechanical compression of the pharyngeal lumen associated with abnormal epiglottic tilt
- incomplete upper esophageal sphincter openings and
- epiglottic/vallecula stasis
