Dysfunctions of the stomatognathic system and vocal aspects in Fahr disease: case report

Abstract

The aim of this study is to report the case of a patient with Fahr's Disease in order to describe the main stomatognathic and vocal changes that can be found in individuals with this disease. In order to establish the diagnosis, an assessment of the conditions of orofacial motor system and speech production, as well the efficiency of swallowing, was realized. Based on these assessments, there were difficulties in coordinating and sustaining muscle during speech and presence of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Speech disorders found in Fahr's disease manifest themselves in complex and cover various aspects of phonological knowledge and the diseases that affect the basal ganglia have similar frames of speech-language disorders of the stomatognathic system, being able to present a picture of dysarthria.

The Impact of COVID-19 Infection on a Neurologically Compromised Male With Fahr’s Disease Presenting With Acute Delirium and Aspiration Pneumonia: A Case Report

“…The minor complications include gait disorder, psychiatric features, pyramidal signs, speech impairment, ataxia, cognitive decline, athetosis, eye impairment, seizures, headache, movement disorder, and decline in motor function [ 5 ]. Oropharyngeal dysphagia in Fahr’s disease progresses due to a rapid decline in the function of the stomatognathic system [ 6 ]. Recent studies reveal the role of the XPR1, PDGFB, PDGFRB, and SLC20A2 genes in triggering primary familial brain calcification in patients with Fahr’s disease [ 4 , 7 ].…”

“…Os neurônios motores tanto superiores como inferiores sofrem degeneração progressiva e como consequência os indivíduos morrem de insuficiência respiratória ou por complicações infecciosas (ZANOTELI et al, 2004;SCHYMICK et al, 2007;GORDON et al, 2013;STATLAND et al, 2015;NAKKEN et al, 2016 (CRONIN et al, 2007;SUTEDJA et al, 2009;LOGROSCINO et al, 2010).
