- Quantitative analysis of oral and pharyngeal transit time in genetic syndromes André Vinicius Marcondes Natel Sales Paula Cristina Cola Rarissa Rubia Dalaqua dos Santos Adriana Gomes Jorge Larissa Cristina Berti Célia Maria Giacheti Roberta Gonçalves da Silva Salud Genetics Evaluation Deglutition Deglutition disorders Quantitative analysis Purpose: To measure the oral and pharyngeal transit time (OTT and PTT) in genetic syndromes. Methods: Fourteen subjects, ranging in age from 4 months to 7 years, with different genetic diagnoses confirmed by clinical or laboratory examinations participated in this study. Real-time videofluoroscopic swallow study, and oral and pharyngeal transit times were analyzed using a specialized software. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used. Results: In the OTT analysis performed with liquid, of the 11 individuals evaluated, seven had normal OTT with an average of 0.75 s and four had altered OTT averaging 5.42 s. When swallowing a puree, four subjects showed normal OTT averaging 1.12 s and eight had altered OTT averaging 9.54 s. From the analysis of the PTT with liquid, seven had normal values averaging 0.68 s and four had altered PTT averaging 3.74 s. When swallowing a puree, four subjects had normal PTT averaging 0.75 s and eight had abnormal values averaging 3.98 s. Conclusion: The oral and pharyngeal transit times may be normal or altered in the studied genetic syndromes. In this study, we found significant differences in transit times only in liquid consistency. 2015 artículo científico 2317-6431 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=391544062011 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3915 Audiology - Communication Research application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Audiologia Audiology - Communication Research (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.20
