Zusammenfassung:Motor Neuron Disease (MND) can present in one of four ways with about 75% as limb-onset or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), 25% with bulbar-onset MND and rarely progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) or primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). With the bulbar type, speech and swallowing difficulties present initially while the patient is still mobile and subsequent lower motor involvement causes limb weakness, myoclonus and rigidity. In these cases, patients have significant concern about salivary secretions when dysphagia results in drooling or periodic choking. 0 references
