Overview
Aspiration pneumonia is caused by inhalation of secretions, gastric contents or any foreign material which reaches lung paraenchyma and damages lung tissueby inflammation
Causes
Life-threatening Causes
- Life-threatening causes of aspiration pneumonia include:
- Stroke
- Unconsciousness
- Brain stem palsy
Common Causes
Aspiration pneumonia may be caused by:
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of aspiration pneumonia include:
- Inhalation of different particles such as:
Genetic Causes
- There are no genetic causes of aspiration pneumonia.
- However, patients with genetic syndromes and paralysis of following lower cranial nerves might be prone to aspiration pneumonia.
- Cranial nerve 9 (glossopharyngeal)
- Cranial nerve 10 (vagal)
- Cranial nerve 11 (accessory)
- Cranial nerve 12 (hypoglossal)
- Associated genetic syndromes are as follow:
- Cerebral palsy
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Spinal muscular atrophy
- Bulbospinal muscular atrophy (BSMA)
- Unclassified motor neuron diseases such as:
- Sandhoff disease
- Triple-A syndrome
- Brown-Vialetto-Van Lare-syndrome
- Hereditary neuropathy
