The aim of the study was to analyse the disturbances of the oro-pharyngeal swallowing phase of dysphagia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients with the use of specific manometric measurements and to evaluate their plausible association with the duration of the disease. Seventeen patients with ALS were evaluated with manometric examinations of the oral and pharyngeal part of the gastrointestinal tract. Tests were carried out by using the oesophageal balloon-based method with four balloon transducers located 5 cm away from each other.

Material And Methods: Authors describe case of six-year-old boy with tumour of the right orbit, upper eyelid and right zygomatic fossa. Medical history revealed gradually increasing in size, painless tumour.
Aim: The oncology efficiency and quality of life are both important for patients with head and neck cancer in every-day life.
Material And Methods: Evaluation of the dysphagia discomfort was made of 240 patients (190 male and 50 female). The primary location of the tumor was: paranasal sinuses, oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx.
Background: Dysphagia is a common symptom of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and leads to increased risk of aspiration, malnutrition and dehydration. Swallowing mechanism in ALS patients has not been systematically studied.
Material And Methods: Based on the manometry analysis of upper investigate tract we have measured base of tongue contraction, resting pressure of the upper esophageal sphincter and average pharyngeal bolus velocity 10 ALS patients with slight dysphagia and have compared them to control group.
