  • Title: Pediatric dysphagia.
    Author: Kakodkar K, Schroeder JW.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 2013 Aug; 60(4):969-77. PubMed ID: 23905831.
    Abstract:
    Feeding and swallowing disorders in the pediatric population are becoming more common, particularly in infants born prematurely and in children with chronic medical conditions. The normal swallowing mechanism is divided into 4 stages: the preparatory, the oral, the pharyngeal, and the esophageal phases. Feeding disorders have multiple causes: medical, nutritional, behavioral, psychological, and environmental factors can all contribute. Pathologic conditions involving any of the anatomic sites associated with the phases of swallowing can negatively impact the coordination of these phases and lead to symptoms of dysphagia and feeding intolerance.
