Summary: Dysphagia is frequently encountered in patients with acute affections of the nervous system (cerebrovascular
attacks,craniocerebral injuries)and in chronic nervous diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,Parkinson
s disease,dementia).To these patients enteral nutrition must be administered.If the perspective of dysphagia
is short (several days)then nutrition by a nasogastric tube is fully indicated and sufficient.In cases of more
prolonged dysphagia and in patients with a long perspective of dysphagia percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy
(PEG)is indicated.Both these methods of enteral nutrition have their advantages and disadvantages which are
manifested in different ways in patients with disorders of the nervous system.The authors compared 62 patients
hospitalized in the course of 4.5 years at the neurological department who had PEG with 72 patients who had
nasogastric tubes and were hospitalized at the neurological intensive care unit in the course of one year.The
authors evaluated the different indications for application,the incidence of complications and the advantages
and disadvantages of the two methods.
