ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE:
Oral stage dysphagia mostly caused by frontal lobe lesions. We investigated the relationship between oral hesitation and cognitive impairment after frontal lobe stroke.METHODS:
We consecutively collected 946 patients with stroke from January 2016 to December 2020. Among them, 38 patients had only frontal lobe lesions. Video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) was performed in 5 stages from water to solid food. Patients who progressed to solid food are very rare, so we focused on liquid and soft food. Diagnosis of stroke was limited to cases in which cerebral infarction or haemorrhage had been verified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cognitive impairment was evaluated by MMSE in patients with frontal lobe lesions.RESULT:
Of the total 946 patients, 35 patients with frontal lobe lesions were enrolled in the study. Of them, 22 were judged to have cognitive impairment. The oral hesitation of the liquid component was analysed, and a conclusion was drawn that the group with cognitive impairment showed significant oral hesitation than the group without cognitive impairment. On the other hand, in the case of soft food, it was found that there was no correlation between cognition and oral hesitation.CONCLUSION:
It was confirmed that oral hesitation during swallowing in patients with frontal lobe stroke had a meaningful relationship with cognition, and oral hesitation during swallowing was significantly higher in liquid swallowing rather than soft food.
