Comparisons of severity classification systems for oropharyngeal dysfunction in children with cerebral palsy: Relations with other functional profiles Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) is characterized by impairments in oral preparatory, oral propulsive, and/or pharyngeal phases of swallowing associated with eating, drinking, and controlling saliva (Benfer et al., 2013 ; Matsuo and Palmer, 2008).

- Xerostomia is not a disease, but it may be a symptom of various medical conditions, a side effect of a radiation to the head and neck, or a side effect of a wide variety of medications.It may or may not be associated with decreased salivary gland function.erostomia can lead to markedly increased dental caries, parotid gland enlargement, inflammation and fissuring of the lips (cheilitis), inflammation or ulcers of the tongue and buccal mucosa, oral candidiasis, salivary gland infection (sialadenitis), halitosis and cracking and fissuring of the oral mucosa.

- Symptoms of oropharyngeal cancer may include a lump in the neck or throat, persistent sore throat, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, and ear and/or jaw pain. Hypopharyngeal Cancer. The hypopharynx is the uppermost portion of the esophagus (the tube through which food travels to the stomach) and surrounds the larynx (voice box).

- The laryngeal mechanism is subject to highly complex, extensive neural control; therefore, it is not surprising that disorders of the nervous system have effects on the voice. A wide range of neurological disorders can affect the phonatory function of the larynx, as well as its role in respiration and swallowing.

Turbinate Dysfunction All individuals have turbinate dysfunction at some point in their lives. Symptoms of turbinate dysfunction range from total nasal obstruction to mild congestion and/or rhinorrhea. Causes of turbinate dysfunction include upper respiratory infection (URI), allergic rhinitis, and vasomotor rhinitis. Drugs or hormones may also induce turbinate dysfunction.

Croup Croup (or laryngotracheobronchitis) is a respiratory condition that is usually triggered by an acute viral infection of the upper airway.The infection leads to swelling inside the throat, which interferes with normal breathing and produces the classical symptoms of a barking cough, stridor, and hoarseness.iral croup or acute laryngotracheitis is caused by parainfluenza virus, primarily types 1 and 2, in 75% of cases. Other viral causes include influenza A and B, measles, adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Background Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) occurs from a dysfunction of the recurrent laryngeal or vagus nerve innervating the larynx. It causes a characteristic breathy voice often accompanied by swallowing disabilty, a weak cough, and the sensation of shortness of breath. This is a common cause of neurogenic hoarseness.

- LARYNGEAL DYSFUNCTION Dysfunctions of the larynx include:-. i) left or right laryngeal paresis or paralysis. ii) left and / or right dilation and prolapse of the lateral ventricles and associated vocal folds. iii) 4BAD-fourth branchial arch defects.

Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease (LPR) Symptoms of LPR can include: a choking sensation, sometimes severe enough to wake a person up at night; sore throat; voice changes; a sensation of something caught in the throat; frequent coughing and throat clearing; and a sour or bitter taste in the mouth, especially upon rising in the morning.aryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease (LPR). Acid reflux may be a primary cause of or a contributing factor to voice problems. Many people have heard of acid reflux disease. When the refluxing of stomach acid primarily affects the esophagus, it is termed gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Orofacial myological disorders OMD refers to abnormal resting posture of the orofacial musculature, atypical chewing, and swallowing patterns, dental malocclusions, blocked nasal airways, and speech problems.

- Pathophysiology. Laryngomalacia may affect the epiglottis, the arytenoid cartilages, or both. When the epiglottis is involved, it is often elongated, and the walls fold in on themselves. The epiglottis in cross section resembles an omega, and the lesion has been referred to as an omega-shaped epiglottis.ackground. Laryngomalacia, shown in the image below, is a congenital abnormality of the laryngeal cartilage. It is a dynamic lesion resulting in collapse of the supraglottic structures during inspiration, leading to airway obstruction.

Aphonia Psychogenic aphonia [edit]. Psychogenic aphonia is often seen in patients with underlying psychological problems. Laryngeal examination will show usually bowed vocal folds that fail to adduct to the midline during phonation.However, the vocal folds will adduct when the patient is asked to cough.sychogenic aphonia [edit].

Xerostomia Xerostomia may also result from a change in composition of saliva (from serous to mucous). Salivary gland dysfunction is an umbrella term for the presence of either xerostomia or salivary gland hypofunction.ehydration, radiotherapy involving the salivary glands, and several diseases can cause hyposalivation or a change in saliva consistency and hence a complaint of xerostomia. Sometimes there is no identifiable cause, and there may be a psychogenic reason for the complaint.

Oropharyngeal dysphagia Dysphagia is a symptom of many different causes, which can usually be elicited by a careful history by the treating physician. A formal oropharyngeal dysphagia evaluation is performed by a speech-language pathologist or occupational therapist.

Orofacial myological disorders Orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) (sometimes called “oral myofunctional disorder, and “tongue thrust”) are muscle disorders of the face, mouth, lips, or jaw. Recent studies on incidence and prevalence of tongue thrust behaviors are not available.

Velopharyngeal Insufficiency (VPI) Commonly referred to as hypernasality, velopharyngeal insufficiency or VPI is a resonance disorder (how the cavities of the mouth and nose effect the way speech sounds) that results from too much air moving through the nose during speech. This is caused by insufficient structure or function of the soft palate.

The Dreaded Diagnosis of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease Today I would like to talk about what has become the bane of existence for gastroenterologists: the dreaded diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux. What does that mean? Acid refluxing back up into the esophagus and then into the larynx, which causes some damage. This reflux results in symptoms such as voice changes, cough, repetitive throat clearing, and pharyngeal sensations of fullness -- not necessarily a globus type of fullness, but a thick phlegm type of fullness.

Vocal cord dysfunction: Is it a type of asthma? Both asthma and vocal cord dysfunction can make breathing difficult. Signs and symptoms of either condition can include coughing, wheezing, throat tightness and hoarseness, but they're two separate disorders.Vocal cord dysfunction is the abnormal closing of the vocal cords when you breathe in or out. It's also called laryngeal dysfunction, paradoxical vocal cord movement disorder or paradoxical vocal cord motion. Like asthma, vocal cord dysfunction can be triggered by breathing in lung ...

- Velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) is the inadequate separation of the oral and nasal cavities during speech and/or swallowing. VPD is caused by structural and/or functional abnormalities of the soft palate and pharyngeal muscles.

- When contractions in the esophagus become irregular, unsynchronized or absent, the patient is said to have esophageal dysmotility. The areas of dysfunction in the esophagus may be in the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), the body of the esophagus or the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Oropharyngeal and UES dysfunction may be caused by neurologic and neuromuscular diseases or may be of unknown cause.

- Oropharyngeal dysphagia can result from abnormal functioning of the nerves and muscles of the mouth, pharynx (back of the throat) and upper esophageal sphincter (muscle at the top end of the swallowing tube). Diseases that involve the swallowing tube (esophagus) can cause esophageal dysphagia.
