Botulinum Toxin Injections

Achalasia is a rare cause of neck swelling. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman, who presented with an intermittent, unilateral neck swelling, associated with dysphagia, weight loss and regurgitation. The patient underwent a gastroscopy and barium swallow. This confirmed a dilated oesophagus with poor motility and hold up of liquid and food residue above the gastro-oesophageal junction, thus revealing the swelling was secondary to severe achalasia. The patient was managed with botulinum toxin injections and pneumatic dilatations but the results were short lived. She is now having manometry and is being considered for a Heller myotomy or peroral oesophageal myotomy. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of achalasia can result in the development of a neck swelling, which could later cause airway compromise and subsequent mortality. Achalasia should therefore be considered in patients with an initial diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease who do not respond to proton pump inhibitors.

Assessment Procedures

AbstractWe describe the assessment procedures used at Charing-Cross Hospital to investigate laryngectomees who failed to develop oesophageal voice and give the results of assessment in 50 patients. Anatomical or physiological abnormalities in the reconstructed pharynx were found in all patients, and we feel these significantly contributed to the failure of achieving an oesophageal voice. The four cases of failure were due to hypotonicity of the pharyngo-oesophageal muscles, hypertonicity, frank spasm and stricture. This distinction can be used as a functional classification of failure as treatment for each group has to be different if successful surgical voice restoration is to be achieved. Patients with hypotonicity need to use external pressure; those with mild hypertonicity are able to use a low pressure tracheo-oesophageal voice prosthesis; those with spasm need a pharyngo-oesophageal myotomy prior to “puncture”, while those with stricture need surgical correction.
