RESUMO

Objective: To draw up guidelines for the treatment. Model: Retrospective analysis of historical of 236 children, during the period July 2003 to July 2006 and descriptive analysis of the results. Environment: Special Care Unit by HRAC-USP. Participants: 236 children with oropharyngeal dysphagia, aged 3 days to 8 years, 204 (86.4%) had cleft lip, and / or palate. The sequence of Robin was diagnosed in 139 children (58.9%), whereas 95 (68.3%) had SRI and 44 (31.7%) syndrome associated. Variables: incidence of dysphagia, syndromes or associated malformations, degree of dysphagia, presence of respiratory discomfort, use of probes feeding (nasogastric tube and gastrostomy), GERD, complications related to gastrostomies and the surgical treatment of GERD, readmissions and the total time of hospitalization. Results: Of the 236 children, 110 (46.6%) had mild dysphagia, 47 (19.9%) moderate and 79 (33.5%) serious. The mild dysphagia was higher for children with cleft lip, and / or palate alone (88.5%) with congenital malformations (81.3%) and with SRI (56.8%). The severe dysphagia was more frequent in children with syndrome (61.6%). Of the study, 195 children (82.6%) required the use of nasogastric tube . The time of use ranged from 1 day to 750 days, with an average of 113 days and a median of 60 days. The gastrostomy was indicated in 67 (28.4%). Conclusions: The oropharyngeal dysphagia is one of the main problems presented by children with craniofacial deformities. The diagnosis of malformations or other syndromes associated and classification the degree of oropharyngeal dysphagia are crucial in guiding treatment.
