Motor dysfunction of the upper digestive tract in Pierre Robin sequence as assessed by sucking-swallowing electromyography and esophageal manometry

Contribuições da eletromiografia de agulha para o estudo da deglutição em seres humanos

“…, as being the source of such data, and in fact, this article describes the facial electromyography in newborns and young infants with congenital facial weakness, which leads us to believe that failed to referencing these normal findings and it is likely, given the similarity in the studies and the authors, the normal data used by Renault et 21 assisting the analysis and interpretation of electrophysiological data of the muscles involved in swallowing. 23 The research of Alkan et al (2012) 23 presented to analyze the relationship between the severity level of the gastroesophageal reflux, patterns of contraction and behavior of the cricopharyngeal muscle through the analysis of measures of electrophysiological cricopharyngeal muscle, from the intramuscular electromyography with electrode of needle.…”

“…Baudon et al (2002) concluded that the 21 manometry and EMG were able to identify malfunctions in the motor organization of the tongue, pharynx, and esophagus; even in the absence of clinical disorders in swallowing.…”

“…The identification from the SMEI, incoordination between the suction and swallowing found in the search Baudon et al (2002) 21 has important contributions to the objective record of evaluation and management of patients with Pierre Robin Sequence. A lack of coordination between these two functions enhances the risk of penetration and aspiration of salivary content and / or feed.…”

“…21 The aim of the survey of Baudon et al (2002) 21 was to evaluate the motor dysfunction by manometry and electromyography of intramuscular needle, the genioglossus muscle and tireohioideous, during sucking and swallowing of newborn infants, with a result of Pierre Robin (SPR). These patients had upper airway obstruction and dysphagia disease (Table 1 and 2).…”

Outcomes of Neonatal Bulbar Weakness

“…Available complementary investigations include videofluoroscopy, 3 fiber optic endoscopy, 4,5 orofacial electrodiagnostic studies, and esophageal manometry. 6 By combining conventional detection of orofacial muscles, recording of blink responses (BRs), and functional electromyography (EMG) during bottle-feeding (EMGbf), electrodiagnostic studies have been shown to help diagnose cranial nerve palsies and sucking/ swallowing incoordination. 7,8 In this work, we report outcomes in a large series of young infants with neonatal BW of diverse causes and explore the association of orofacial electrodiagnostic data with outcome.…”
