Overview

Retrospective analysis identifies dysphagia in CFM patients using Video Fluoroscopic Swallow Studies, revealing significant feeding challenges.

Key Points

  • Patients with craniofacial microsomia frequently experience oropharyngeal dysphagia, impacting feeding.
  • Analysis of Video Fluoroscopic Swallow Studies showed that 94% of patients had pharyngeal residue.
  • The majority of patients exhibited impaired oral phase swallowing functions, including bolus control issues.
  • Instrumental assessments are crucial for identifying specific interventions to enhance feeding outcomes in these patients.
