A 74-yr-old man developed left hemiplegia because of a right middle cerebral artery territory infarction and also had clinical features of dysphagia and speech difficulty. At that time, he complained of neck pain, but the symptom was ignored because he had a nasogastric tube and had been diagnosed with a huge epiglottic cyst that had already shown several symptoms such as severe hoarseness and throat discomfort. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study was planned to find out the cause and the type of dysphagia. On the videofluoroscopic swallowing study, a foreign body was found at the hypopharynx. Surprisingly, it was confirmed as a denture. After removing the denture, the patient's swallowing and speech difficulty were significantly improved. This case emphasizes the need for elderly stoke patients presenting with dysphagia or communication problems to receive more careful history taking and a more complete physical examination, with the cooperation of several clinical departments.

casos clínicosCuerpos extraños en la vía aérea: Uno a cada lado en forma simultánea. Caso clínicoInhaled foreign bodies can be a life-threatening emergency and requires immediate intervention. We report a 40-year-old man who came to the ER complaining of chest pain and cough. He had lost his dental prosthesis. Chest X-Rays showed two foreign bodies, one at the intermediate bronchus and the other at the left posterior basal segmental bronchus. By fibrobronchoscopy, porcelain fused to a metal dental crown of six teeth was extracted from the right side, and a cast of metal from the left side. (Rev Med Chile 2010; 138: 470-472).

Numerous impairments cause suffering to the institutionalized elderly person. The medically compromised or severely demented patient, especially one with swallowing difficulties, presents a challenge to the dental practitioner. This paper summarizes typical geriatric dental problems that caregivers in a long-term care (LTC) facility should find recognizable. It also describes palliative and preventive treatment modalities that help improve the quality of life for such institutionalized patients.
