Dysarthria
View through CrossRef
Slurring of speech is usually noticed by family members or friends before patients know it. It is usually associated with swallowing difficulty due to dual function of the tongue and frequent involvement of the tongue and pharyngeal muscles together. Dysphagia usually precedes dysarthria in myasthenia gravis (MG) and follows it in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In advanced cases, anarthria becomes a total communication barrier and other means of communications should be established. Cerebellar dysarthria is characterized by being irregular. Dysphonia should be differentiated from dysarthria. This chapter describes features and presentations of different types of dysarthria.
