Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Gastroesophageal reflux is a common problem in infancy and childhood. However, it may be overlooked as a cause or complication of respiratory disease and/or neurobehavioral problems. In this report of a 5-year-old child with cerebral palsy, severe developmental delay, and asthma, Sandifer's syndrome was diagnosed after she was found to have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Awareness of GERD and Sandifer's syndrome may spare neurologically impaired children from persistent symptoms and delayed appropriate treatment. |
