A case of persistent aphagia in frontal lobe syndrome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) with successful use of olanzapine to improve the eating disorder is presented. A 20-year-old man suffered a severe TBI with right frontal intracerebral haemorrhage At four-month post-TBI, he had agitation, concurrent apathy with constant refusal for oral swallow despite gustatory sensory stimulation, hence the needs for nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding. He was diagnosed with frontal lobe syndrome and prescribed olanzapine 5mg daily that was optimised to 10mg due to worsened aggression.

Medical Department II, Gastroenterology, University of Würzburg, Germany.
BACKGROUND : Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies, coagulated blood, or necrotic debris is sometimes challenging and time-consuming, partly because of inadequate endoscopic instruments. Therefore, new devices are needed to overcome the current limitations. METHODS : The over-the-scope grasper (OTSG) is a new grasping tool that can be attached to any standard gastroscope.

Penetrating brain injury caused by a high speed projectile is rather rare in Japan, known for its strict gun-control laws. We report a case of a 55-year-old male, who was transferred to our hospital with a foreign body in the brain due to penetrating head injury, which was caused by an explosion of a construction machine. Neurological examination demonstrated severe motor aphagia with no apparent motor paresis.

Background: After chemoradiation therapy for head/neck cancer, some patients develop strictures that progress to complete pharyngoesophageal occlusion. Total lumen occlusion is less often due to other conditions. Enteral access (enterostomy tube) and good nutritional status tend to minimize the significance of dysphagia and therefore may mask recognition of impending complete lumen occlusion.
