| Abstract;Dysphagia in children differs from that in the adult in several important aspects. An impressive number of conditions causing dysphagia during infancy are related to congenital, functional, or anatomical abnormalities. Dysphagia causes difficulty in one or more stages of deglutination, from placement of food in the mouth, oral moter manipulation and control of the bolus, triggering of the swallowing action and pharyngeal peristalsis, through relaxation of the cricopharyngeal sphincter which allows the bolus to pass into the esophagus. We diagnose each patient's functional level using the 8 steps in the course of developmental feeding course and 8 levels of dysfunctional. Dyspagia rehabilitation is needed for a long time in many disabled children. (author abst.) |
