INTRODUCTION: Huntington's chorea is a degenerative, autosomal dominant genetic disease. One of its symptoms is oropharyngeal dysphagia, which becomes more evident with the disease progression. However, few studies have objectively addressed swallowing characteristics in this patient population. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe fiberoptic endoscopic exam of swallow (FEES) findings at different periods of disease evolution in Huntington's chorea. METHOD: A retrospective cross-sectional clinical case study. Two male patients from the same family aged 32 and 63 years old and diagnosed with Huntington's chorea with 5 and 13 years of disease evolution, respectively, participated in the study and were identified as individual A and individual B. FEES evaluation was performed and patients were offered consistencies of pureed, thickened liquid, and liquid. RESULTS: Both individuals had verified presence of laryngeal and pharyngeal sensibility, posterior oral escape for thickened liquid and liquid, absence of salivary stases, presence of pharyngeal residues in small quantities, presence of pharyngeal clearance, and absence of laryngeal penetration and/or laryngotracheal aspiration. CONCLUSION: There was no difference in FEES findings in patients with Huntington's disease with distinct disease progression times.
