Patterns of Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Associated With Craniofacial Microsomia
Patients with CFM of all severities demonstrated oral and pharyngeal dysphagia on VFSS, including impaired labial closure, impaired bolus containment, pharyngeal residue, and penetration/aspiration. Instrumental assessment of patients with CFM is recommended to assess anatomy and physiology of the oropharyngeal phases of swallowing, and to identify the specific interventions and compensatory strategies to improve feeding outcomes.
