Pharyngoesophageal dysphagia in infancy.
Swallowing disorders in the first 12 months of life are often seen in pediatric practice. Infants with more persistent and severe disabilities with feeding, continued vomiting, regurgitation, or aspiration resulting in pulmonary disease may have correctable anatomical abnormalities. Full pediatric, neurological, radiological and endoscopic examination is required to distinguish the site of the disorder.
