Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in patients with ALS and bulbar dysfunction. ... CONCLUSION: Patients did not receive PEG until bulbar function was severely reduced and overall ALS had markedly progressed. PEG may have been performed too late to demonstrate survival benefits.

In patients with focal epilepsy, focal neurological dysfunction can occur due to status epilepticus and also as a post-ictal phenomenon. Bulbar dysfunction as evident by drooling, dysarthria, swallowing difficulties, and palatal-glossalpharyngeal weakness has been reported in conjunction with epilepsy.

We report a 6-year-old male and a 6 1/2-year-old female with progressive bulbar dysfunction resulting from epilepsy. Ictal EEGs in patient 1 did not confirm a diagnosis of epilepsy. With no evidence of a cortical or brainstem focus from EEG or MRI, it is very difficult to explain the mechanism of bulbar dysfunction.

Many individuals with progressive neuromuscular conditions, including post-poliomyelitis, develop severe bulbar dysfunction, which adversely affects quality of life and can indirectly exacerbate cardiopulmonary insufficiency.

Likewise, bulbar muscle dysfunction that impairs retention of optimal breaths with a closed glottis can greatly decrease PCF. Bulbar dysfunction can also lead to aspiration of food or saliva or upper airway obstruction for laryngeal incompetence.
