This study aimed to identify the neuroanatomical predictors of oropharyngeal dysphagia and tube dependency in patients with supratentorial or infratentorial ischemic strokes. The right precentral gyrus and parts of the internal capsule are associated with oropharyngeal dysphagia, while the four supratentorial areas are associated with tube dependency. The dorsal upper medulla is associated with both oropharyngeal dysphagia and tube dependency.
This study aimed to identify the neuroanatomical predictors of oropharyngeal dysphagia and tube dependency in patients with supratentorial or infratentorial ischemic strokes. Patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled and were classified into 3 groups: right supratentorial (n = 61), left supratentorial (n = 89), and infratentorial stroke (n = 50). Dysphagia was evaluated by a modified water swallowing test and the Food Intake LEVEL Scale to evaluate oropharyngeal dysphagia and tube dependency, respectively. As two dysphagia parameters, we evaluated the durations from onset of stroke to (1) success in the modified water swallowing test and to (2) rating 7 points or above on the Food Intake LEVEL Scale: patients regained sufficient oral intake and were not tube-dependent. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping analysis was performed for a spatially normalized lesion map of magnetic resonance imaging to explore the anatomies that are associated with the two dysphagia parameters for each stroke group. The right precentral gyrus and parts of the internal capsule are associated with oropharyngeal dysphagia. The four supratentorial areas are associated with tube dependency. The dorsal upper medulla is associated with both oropharyngeal dysphagia and tube dependency. These results suggest that supratentorial stroke patients can be tube-dependent due to an impaired anticipatory phase of ingestion. The simultaneous damage in the four supratentorial areas: the inferior part of the precentral gyrus, lenticular nucleus, caudate head, and anterior insular cortex, predicts tube dependency. In contrast, infratentorial stroke patients can be tube-dependent due to oropharyngeal dysphagia caused by lesions in the dorsal upper medulla, damaging the swallowing-related nucleus.
