Cаse Study #1: A 71-yeаr-оld wоmаn presented tо the neurology clinic with a history of leg weakness, followed gradually during the next year by hand weakness, speech difficulty, and, finally, shortness of breath and chewing and swallowing difficulty. Initial neurologic examination revealed upper and lower extremity weakness and facial and tongue weakness, but no fasciculations. The neurologist thought that Myasthenia Gravis or ALS were possible diagnoses. EMG and nerve conduction studies were arranged, as well as speech and swallowing evaluations. Speech pathology examination confirmed that speech difficulty was initially manifested as some “shakiness” in her voice in the evening, followed by “slurring” of speech and hoarseness, all of which were worsening. Her speech was better in the morning and worse with fatigue. Food would pocket in her cheeks, and she had to use a finger to remove it. Chin and bilateral lingual fasciculations were present. The tongue was mildly weak bilaterally. Voice quality was mildly hoarse. Vocal flutter was evident during conversation and vowel prolongation. Her resonance was hypernasal. Lingual fricative and affricate distortions were subtly evident. Speech rate was normal. There was no significant deterioration of speech during several minutes of continuous reading. Speech AMRs and sequential motion rates (SMRs) were normal in rate and rhythm. Intelligibility was normal.
