A 49-year-old man with pharyngeal dysphagia after encephalitis is presented in
this case study. Sixteen months earlier the patient experienced a sudden severe
fever which resulted in encephalitis, leading to liquid dysphagia. Despite
receiving an initial treatment of swallowing therapy, the patient's liquid
dysphagia did not improve. Functional neuromuscular electrical stimulation, which
is a new treatment method, was then applied to the patient.
The patient showed
improvement in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing. Clinical and treatment
observations are reported.
