About

This study will report the chewing and swallowing disorders of a Coffin-Lowry Syndrome (CLS) patient, and effects of chewing and swallowing training on chewing and swallowing function.

Full description

Patients with CLS suffer from spinal deformities, nonconvulsive status epilepticus, obstructive sleeep apnea syndrome, pneumonia, stimulus-induced myoclonus, cases of falls, mechanical ventilation, restrictive lung disease. It was also reported that patients with CLS had problems with eating and feeding functions. However there is no study investigating chewing and swallowing functions of this patient population. Therefore, the investigators have three main purposes:

1. To chewing and swallowing function in a boy with CLS diagnosis who was referred due to coughing during eating, long-lasting wheezing, sputum and inability to intake solid food
2. To investigate the effects of two months of chewing and swallowing training program
3. To present long term follow-up effects on chewing and swallowing function.
