title: [Dysphagia in infants].
abstract: 39 cases of congenital dysphagia in infants treated by the author provided evidence for advantage of rigid and fibrooptic endoscopy in examination of such patients. High informative value in detection of swallowing defects is attributed to high-speed cinorhoentgenography with low-speed film review. Recommendations on the treatment of infantile traumatic dysphagia are given. The insertion of small-size permanent thermoplastic esophageal tube for the period of dysphagia treatment is advisable.
