Endoscopic evaluation of swallowing in children: 3 years of experience
Nascimento, Joana; Moreira, Inês; Cunhas, Inês; Forjaco, Ana; Alves, Pedro; Ximenes Araújo, Joana; Pinto Sousa, José; Araújo, Bernardo; Sousa, HerédioSwallowing disorders in children affect approximately 1% of children per year in the United States and are often underdiagnosed. The development of noninvasive diagnostic techniques has allowed for more accurate diagnoses, regardless of age. This study aims to identify the prevalence of swallowing disorders and the need for instrumental evaluation by videofluoroscopy of swallowing (VFD) and/or fiberoptic endosc...
