摘要:

SummaryWe report the cases of two patients with complaints of dysphagia following long-term neuroleptic therapy. Esophageal contrast radiography revealed that one patient suffered disruption of the normal swallowing activity of the pharyngoesophagus due to tardive dyskinesia. Her dysphagia disappeared following changes in her neuroleptic medications and the administration of clonazepam. The other patient demonstrated severe rabbit syndrome involving the glossopharynx. This 3-Hz rhythmic movement disorder resolved following injection of an anticholinergic agent. Thereafter, the addition of oral trihexyphenidyl to her medication regimen improved her dysphagia. It should be emphasized that the differential diagnosis of neuroleptic-associated dysphagia subtypes is important because therapeutic strategies differ depending on the subtype of this life-threatening illness.
