Oropharyngeal adhesions

Introduction to oropharyngeal adhesion Oropharyngeal adhesions are caused by adhesion of scar tissue between the pharyngeal arch and the base of the tongue. The most common adhesion is adhesion of the tongue root to the pharyngeal arch. The cause is similar to that of the nasopharyngeal adhesion, which often occurs after tonsillectomy. There are different symptoms of adhesion. Sometimes the throat has a tight feeling. It is obvious when swallowing. In severe cases, there are resistance and difficulty in swallowing. Scars can be seen in the oropharynx. The pharyngeal arch and soft palate are tightened. The tonsil is caused by tonsil. The fossa, tongue, and pharyngeal arch have a scar and adhesion to the lateral part of the base of the tongue. The disease has adhesions in the oropharynx, so it needs to be differentiated from other causes that cause oropharyngeal adhesions, such as suppurative infection of the oropharynx, and inflammatory reactions, often caused by enlargement of tissues such as tonsils, causing oropharynx The occlusion affects the eating. Severe cases can directly affect the breathing. If necessary, the tracheal intubation should be performed to open the airway to avoid suffocation caused by obstructing the respiratory tract. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.02% Susceptible people: no special people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: difficulty swallowing

Oral pharyngeal adhesion cause

Soft palate is caused by adhesion of scar tissue between the pharyngeal arch and the base of the tongue. The most common adhesion is adhesion of the tongue root to the pharyngeal arch, and the cause is similar to that of the nasopharynx.

Oropharyngeal adhesion prevention

There is no effective preventive measure for this disease. Early diagnosis and early treatment are the key to the prevention and treatment of this disease.

Oropharyngeal adhesion complications Complications, difficulty swallowing

Severe people feel that the speech has resistance and difficulty swallowing.

Oropharyngeal adhesion symptoms common symptoms pharyngeal dyskinesia dysphagia

There are different symptoms of adhesion. Sometimes the throat has a tight feeling. It is obvious when swallowing. In severe cases, there are resistance and difficulty in swallowing. Scars can be seen in the oropharynx. The pharyngeal arch and soft palate are tightened. The tonsil is caused by tonsil. The fossa, tongue, and pharyngeal arch have a scar and adhesion to the lateral part of the base of the tongue.

Oropharyngeal adhesion examination

1. Nasopharyngeal biopsy: In order to confirm the common methods of nasopharyngeal lesions, especially nasopharyngeal malignancies, there are currently two methods of oral nasopharyngeal biopsy and transnasal nasopharyngeal biopsy. Check whether the nasopharynx biopsy results are normal, whether nasopharyngeal lesions or nasopharyngeal malignant tumors are found.

2. Swallowing test: The patient is swallowed and observed for swallowing and pharyngeal pain. Check for swallowing and pharyngeal pain after swallowing.

Diagnosis of oropharyngeal adhesion

diagnosis

Diagnosis can be based on medical history, clinical symptoms, and laboratory tests.

Differential diagnosis

The disease has adhesions in the oropharynx, so it needs to be differentiated from other causes that cause oropharyngeal adhesions, such as suppurative infection of the oropharynx, and inflammatory reactions, often caused by enlargement of tissues such as tonsils, causing oropharynx The occlusion affects the eating. Severe cases can directly affect the breathing. If necessary, the tracheal intubation should be performed to open the airway to avoid suffocation caused by obstructing the respiratory tract.
