Medial medullary infarction (MMI) is a vascular occlusion in the medulla oblongata leading to certain constellations of neurological symptoms and seriously affecting the patient. Effective evidence-based treatment of severe dysphagia as sole symptom of MMI has not yet been reported. This case study aims to report successful effects of evidence-based therapy based on findings of dysphagia symptoms and pathophysiology of swallowing by flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) in severe isolated dysphagia after MMI. FEES was performed to evaluate swallowing pathophysiology and dysphagia symptoms in a 57-year-old male with severe dysphagia after MMI. On the basis of FEES findings, simple and high-frequent evidence-based exercises for improvement of swallowing were implemented: thermal stimulation of faucial arches, Jaw Opening Exercise, and Jaw Opening Against Resistance. After 7 weeks of high-frequent evidence-based therapy and regular FEES evaluation the patient was set on full oral diet with no evidence of aspiration risk. In a first case report of isolated dysphagia in MMI our case illustrates that high-frequent evidence-based dysphagia therapy in combination with FEES as the method to evaluate and monitor swallowing pathophysiology can lead to successful and quick rehabilitation of severely affected dysphagic patients.
