[Dysphagia] Anarthria



  

Does anyone have experience with anarthria and swallowing? I have a patient who has no volitional oral motor movement. Pt is s/p CVA.
   
  *** I have had several patients who were anarthric and aphagic, usually after a second stroke. Like the majority of stroke patients, they recovered spontaneously within three months. Most remained dysarthric (pseudobulbar)  but able to eat/drink. How long is this patient post insult and where is/are the lesions? Any comorbidities?
