But this condition is more common in the elderly. And swallowing disorders often occur because of the presence of other health condition, such as: • nervous system disorders, as juvenile Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, for example. • problems in the esophagus, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (Alaratjah acid). • Strokes. • head injuries or spinal cord. • cancer of the head or neck, or esophagus.

It is possible to be useful drugs for some patients, while other patients require surgery. Treatment may be a language of words useful in the treatment of swallowing problems, too.

Parkinson's disease is a type of movement disorders. It happens when you are not nerve cells in the brain to produce sufficient amount of a brain chemical called as "dopamine." This case be hereditary in some cases, but it does not look hereditary in most cases.

     Stiffness of the arms, legs and torso.
     Trembling hands, arms, legs, jaw and face.

 

 Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders with a negative impact on the patient's ability to move and keeping his balance and appearance. These disorders appear during the first few years of life. It does not increase with the passage of time usually. Cerebral palsy happens when you do not Taatkhalq some areas of the brain that control body movement and posture Tkhalqa intact, or when exposed to infection.

 

In addition to difficulty swallowing, persons with cerebral Maggie's father could find it difficult to walk or can show that they have problems with the tasks of daily life. Some of them are also exposed to other health problems, including seizures or mental disability.

 For X-ray imaging using barium, the patient drinks a liquid contains a substance barium. The material barium encapsulates the esophagus from the inside. This is what makes it clearly shows an X-ray. And so the doctor can see the changes in the form of the esophagus and find out how it works. It is also possible to swallow solid esophagus diets containing barium or a CD envelope with Barium.

Dynamic study of swallowing include the establishment of a patient swallowing different types of food coated with Barium. The doctor can in this case to see how to move the food from the mouth to the stomach.

 

  This examination also allows to show whether the food was entering the breathing tube. Endoscopy uses a lighted tube careful to consider the inside of the esophagus. The doctor inserts a tube through the mouth. As it can be the doctor uses a smaller tube is inserted through the nose.

  

 It is also possible to make the measurement of pressure. This test measures the amount of muscle contractions in the esophagus during swallowing.
