説明

<p>We report a case in which the manifestation of fasciculations in the tongue led to a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated disease. An 80-year-old man visited our department with chief complaints of tongue discomfort and swallowing difficulty. The patient had been aware of dysarthria for 2 years and had visited several physicians without receiving an accurate diagnosis. Intraoral examination in our department showed fasciculations in the tongue; therefore, ALS was suspected. He was referred to the Department of Neurology where a definite diagnosis of ALS was made. Our experience suggests that dentists can contribute to the diagnosis of ALS, as well as the assessment of dysphagia and management of oral health.</p>
