Dysphagia in Rett Syndrome: A Descriptive Study.

CONCLUSIONS: Dysphagia was primarily limited to oral preparatory phases, while the pharyngeal phase was normal in most patients. The high percentage of dysphagia suggests the need to accurately monitor the feeding capability of RS children. It is critical to correctly inform caregivers about safe swallowing procedures to reduce the incidence of fatal complications. PMID: 28766954 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
