Introduction The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) is a widely used instrument for assessing oral intake in dysphagic patients. Despite its frequent use, validated version the Polish population has been lacking. Methods This study aimed to validate adaptation of FOIS (FOIS-PL) by examining concordance with Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation Swallowing (FEES) outcomes and International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI-FDS) scores across patients diverse clinical profiles....

Introduction: Early identification of patients at risk dysphagia is paramount importance. To date, no screening questionnaire has been validated and translated into Polish that can be widely used in a multidisciplinary setting. Our study aimed to validate adapt the version Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10). Materials Methods: The EAT-10 was using formal forward–backward translation method. administered 109 with different etiologies 24 control subjects. Internal consistency,...

Studies show that dysphagia is a common problem in patients with demyelinating diseases. However, there are no published studies on this group of patients, which would include the individual phases or safety and effectiveness swallowing process.The main objective study was to assess prevalence disorders characterize them based subjective assessment by subjects multiple sclerosis Devic's syndrome.The included 72 (47 F, 25 M). Patients at risk were identified using DYMUS, EAT-10 SDQ...

Abstract Purpose Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS), described as chronic (CC) associated with allergic (AR), non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) or rhinosinusitis (CRS), is one of the major causes CC. We aimed to characterize a cohort UACS patients special attention differences between AR and NAR. Methods A prospective analysis clinical data patients, diagnosed 2015 2018. Results There were 143 UACS, median age 52 years, women predominance (68.5%), The group comprised 59 (41%) 84 (59%) NAR...

The endoscopic examination of swallowing FEES (fiberoptic swallowing) belongs to the basic instrumental examinations used in diagnostics oropharyngeal dysphagia. It consists three parts: I. Evaluation anatomy and physiology throat larynx; II. Assessment drinking eating liquids foods with different consistencies; III. effectiveness therapeutic maneuvers. purpose work is present test procedure form describe it.

In this article, we proposed a questionnaire for assessment of videofluorscopic examination in patients with swallowing disorders. It was developed during years 2015 - 2016 by the Department Otolaryngology at Medical University Warsaw. The main body form consists 3 parts assessing oral phase, pharyngeal phase and esophageal phase. column contains list specific symptoms yes/no answers. There is four-point scale severity disorders from 0 to 3, where corresponds clinically insignificant...

Evaluation of diagnostic, surgical technique, treatment results facial nerve neurinomas and its comparison with literature was the main purpose this study.Seven cases patients (2005-2011) schwannomas were included to retrospective analysis in Department Otolaryngology, Medical University Warsaw. All assessed history disease, physical examination, hearing tests, computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging, electronystagmography. Cases observed direction potential complications...

Dysphagia concerns 10–89% patients after total laryngectomy; to a greater extent, it receiving complementary radiotherapy. The disease mechanism is associated with anatomical changes surgery (scope of surgery) or complications adjuvant therapy (xerostomia, neuropathy, swelling tissue, etc.). above lead to: decreased mobility the lateral walls pharynx and tongue retraction, occurrence lingual pumping, swallowing reflex, weakening upper esophageal sphincter opening, contraction cricopharyngeal...

Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI) is a self-assessment questionnaire which consists of 25 statements to examine three aspects dysphagia patients' quality life (QoL): functional, physical, and emotional. The patient can get maximum score 100 points. study goal was validate translate the Polish version DHI (PL-DHI). One hundred seventy-eight (178) individuals with oropharyngeal different etiology 35 (thirty-five) asymptomatic adults no history swallowing disorders filled out PL-DHI. Internal...

Tuberculosis is a major problem of constant importance all over the world. Notably, in developed countries it due to immunosuppressive therapy and AIDS. Primary otological tuberculosis constitutes very small share cases this disease. Moreover, appearance tuberculomas remains unique even greater extent.Clinical history patient who has already been infected for 60 years result BCG vaccination. Ponto-cerebellum angle tumour appeared his brain as complication ensuing The first therapeutic method...

The main tumor of cerebellopontine angle are vestibular schwannoma (80–90%). According to National Institute Health Consensus Development Conference the best treatment method is microsurgery. There three principal surgical approaches: translabyrinthin, retrosigmoid and middle fossa. Only latter two approaches provide possibility hearing preservation. Technique surgery postoperative morbidity after MFA. 39 patients (40 tumor) suffered from angle, operated by using fossa approach in years...

The main tumor of cerebellopontine angle are vestibular schwannoma (80-90%). Most them unilateral lesion but 5% bilateral pathological mass. There genetic disease like neurofibromatosis type 1 and 2. According to National Institute Heath Consensus Development Conference the best treatment method is microsurgery. possibility hearing preservation surgery give middle fossa approach suboccipital approach, radiotherapy or auditory brainstem implants cochlear implants. aim study case report...

Celem pracy była ocena funkcjonowania chorych z zaburzeniami połykania po operacji radykalnego usunięcia krtani. Do badania wstępnie zakwalifikowano 20 pacjentów, będących dłużej niż 6 miesięcy całkowitym usunięciu krtani, wymagających przeprowadzenia wideofluoroskopowego (VFSS) ze względu na zgłaszane zaburzenia połykania. Grupę ostateczną stanowiło 10 osób (8 mężczyzn i 2 kobiety). Procedura obejmowała: zebranie wywiadu, wykonania pełnego VFSS oraz wypełnienie przez pacjenta...

Introduction: Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is a transient and reversible narrowing of the larynx in response to intense physical effort. The clinical picture EILO often resembles those asthma or exercise induced bronchospasm. gold standard diagnostics nasofiberoscopic examination during (CLE).Case Description: We present two cases athletes initially treated for who were diagnosed with after CLE. This allowed initiation phoniatric rehabilitation initial improvement tolerance.

Between six and ten percent of brain tumours are located in the cerebellopontine angle. Most them vestibular schwannomas (80–90%). common symptoms are: unilateral hearing loss, sudden tinnitus, disequilibrium, vertigo, facial nerve or trigeminial dysfunction headache. According to National Institute Health Consensus Development Conference gadolinium MRI constitutes gold standard during diagnostic process surgery best treatment option. There three possible approaches: middle fossa approach,...
