Researching BFS for German Wiki

[christinasgirl123]

I am just doing a lot of research on BFS for my Emilyomouse wiki article, and not awnted to hide this article:nvolvement of the esophagus in the cramp-fasciculation syndrome, Braune et al,.muscle and nerve, 1998 Jun;21(6):802-4. which says....it is normal that BFS/BCFS also affects the throat muscles and swallowng process.

A 35-year-old male patient presented with symptoms of a cramp-fasciculation syndrome, but also reported difficulties swallowing. Esophageal manometry showed spontaneous nonperistaltic contractions, pathologically increased amplitudes and duration of the contractile complexes, and an asynchronous propagation. Electromyographic evidence of fasciculations in the sternocleidomastoid and pectoralis muscles was found. Apparently all types of peripheral motor fibers can be involved in this heterogeneous syndrome, including cranial motor nerves, the vagal nerve, and enteric motor fibers of the gastrointestinal tract.
