Role of Cerebral Cortex Plasticity in the Recovery of Swallowing Function Following Dysphagic Stroke

Abstract: Effective swallowing is an essential part of life and is performed thousands of times per day, often without conscious consideration. Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia) commonly arises in stroke patients following ischemia of the cerebral cortex. However, whereas this tends to resolve spontaneously in the majority of patients, a small percentage will be left with a persistent dysphagia, which predisposes to airway compromise and aspiration pneumonia. This article reviews the recent research into ways of rest… Show more

“…Em estudo sobre o papel da plasticidade do córtex cerebral na recuperação da função da deglutição pós AVE foi observado que a estimulação cortical e aferente primária contribui para a promoção da plasticidade do córtex não lesado facilitando o retorno da função da deglutição em pacientes com disfagia 16 . É possível que também a função gustativa seja recuperada quando da ocorrência da plasticidade do córtex cerebral.…”

“…It is known that from the post-CVA patients, 25-50% complained of dysphasia 18 , and some authors even suggest higher probabilities occurrence 8 . Specific studies about the epidemiology aspects and natural history of dysphasia associated with acute brain-vascular conditions suggest an incidence of around 50% for swallowing disorders 19,20 . It is noted, however, that despite these studies agree in numbers with the current, they are all different when it comes to analysis, because they assessed only patients with dysphasia after have suffered CVA regardless the occurrence or not of other disorders unlike from this study that had as sample selection criteria the co-occurrence of aphasia.…”

“…8 This may also be influenced by the increased plasticity of the pediatric brain, which is critical for reorganization of cortical swallow networks necessary for recovery after dysphagia. 3,5 Most children required diet modifications and enteral nutrition during the course of their posthemispherectomy dysphagia. Only one patient with new dysphagia required long-term nutritional supplementation via gastric tube; this was able to be removed by 18 months posthemispherectomy.…”
