| description | Inflammation, axonal loss and demyelinating plaques in the brain, which are the
background of multiple sclerosis, very often cause changes in speech or dysarthria, in a range from
mild to so severe that they impair comprehension of speech by the interlocutor. As a consequence
of multiple sclerosis, dysphagia can also occur. The aim of this paper is to present the speech and
swallowing difficulties that result from multiple sclerosis, and the importance of assessing the
speech and swallowing in people with multiple sclerosis. Th is article is descriptive and provides a
comprehensive overview of the literature dealing with this topic. Speech difficulties impede daily
functioning and are often the first sign that other people notice. Swallowing difficulties not only
complicate daily life but, if not given sufficient attention, are a possible life-threatening consequence
of multiple sclerosis. Assessment of speech and swallowing difficulties should be part of the clinical
assessment in each person with multiple sclerosis. As multiple sclerosis progresses, so do speech
and swallowing difficulties, and it is of utmost importance to provide appropriate treatment that
can alleviate these difficulties. Speech-language pathologists should be part of a team making the
diagnosis and providing treatment for a person with multiple sclerosis. |
