What Is a Cricopharyngeal Spasm?
Pharyngeal spasm refers to the involuntary contraction of the pharyngeal muscles. There are two types of tonicity and clonicity. All causes of pharyngeal muscle paralysis can cause pharyngeal muscle spasm and are a precursor to pharyngeal muscle paralysis.

- The main points of diagnosis: 1. Consciousness of pharyngeal contraction, swallowing disorders, intrapharyngeal discomfort, nausea, and pain. Clonics bite regularly or irregularly. Both yourself and others can hear the "click" sound from the spasm, which is not affected by pulse, breathing, sleep, anesthesia, etc., and can be relieved when pronounced or swallowed. 2. Hypospasm spasticity was not found during the examination. Generally, a certain pharyngeal muscle contraction can be seen during cramping, and sometimes clonic sounds can be heard. Mucosa is normal.
- Treatment: Active and thorough treatment of the primary disease. Acupuncture and physiotherapy can be used locally, and 1% of procaine can be used to locally block the seizure to temporarily relieve or suppress the seizures.
- ENT
- Pharyngeal cramps are mostly unexplained. Chronic pharyngitis, long-term excessive tobacco and alcohol, physical and chemical factors, and long-term irritation of nasal secretions can cause pharyngeal muscle spasms. The cause of pharyngeal muscle paralysis often leads to the occurrence of pharyngeal muscle spasm, which is often a precursor to paralysis.
- Two manifestations of pharyngeal muscle spasm can be seen clinically: tonic pharyngeal spasm and rhythmic pharyngeal myoclonus. Tonic pharyngeal spasm often occurs in rabies, tetanus, epilepsy, meningitis, and rickets. Severe cases are accompanied by the symptoms of tightly closed teeth and difficulty in opening the mouth. Mild cases include swallowing disorders, intrapharyngeal discomfort, and nausea. Rhythmic pharyngeal myoclonus is an involuntary and rhythmic contraction of the soft palate or pharyngeal constrictor, which can reach more than 60 to 100 times per minute. The patient can hear gurgling noises himself and others, so he is also called his tinnitus. . The disease is mostly caused by central brain stem lesions.

- Based on clinical manifestations.
- For tonic pharyngeal spasm, sedative and antispasmodic drugs can be used, such as chlorpromazine and phenobarbital sodium; muscle relaxants can also be given if necessary (tuberine, scoline). Hysteria should be combined with suggestive or psychotherapy. Rhythmic clonics should be treated according to the cause. There are reports of stimulating the cornea with cold air to stop the seizures for a short time. Acupuncture has some effect. Lianquan, Renying, Tiantu, Taichong, Hegu and other points can be selected.
