Diagnosis With Manometry and Treatment With Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Dysphagia

Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) used for the diagnosis of dysphagia has limitations in objectively assessing the contractility of the pharyngeal muscle or the degree of the upper esophageal sphincter relaxation. With a manometer, however, it is possible to objectively assess the pressure c...

With a manometer, however, it is possible to objectively assess the pressure changes in the pharynx caused by pharyngeal muscle contraction during swallowing or upper esophageal sphincter relaxation, hence remedying the limitations of VFSS. The following case report describes a patient diagnosed with lateral medullar infarction presenting a 52-year-old male who had dysphagia. We suggested that the manometer could be used to assess the specific site of dysfunction in patients with dysphagia complementing the limitations of VFSS. We also found that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation was effective in treating patients refractory to traditional dysphagia rehabilitation.
