isDefinedBy

Swallowing dysfunction occurs from the earliest stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD), even in asymptomatic cases. Changes range from drooling (despite indications of decreased salivary production in PD; food residues in the oral sulci long after meals; poor bolus formation; slowed oral transit; repeated tongue pumping for retropulsion of the bolus; delayed triggering of the pharyngeal swallow reflex; reduced diameter but prolonged opening of the upper oesophageal sphincter; to vallecular stasis, residue in the piriform sinuses with risk of aspiration and true aspiration.
