Handling and progress until achieved oral ingestion against dysphagia of congenital pseudobulbar palsy

Abstract

Pseudobulbar palsy, a cerebrovascular disease frequently observed in the elderly, is often associated with dysphagia. The current study is a case report of a pediatric patient diagnosed with congenital pseudobulbar palsy. The patient underwent long-term functional therapy using tube feeding, an effective treatment method for children unable to ingest. Although prolonged use of tube feeding can lead to dependency, timely appropriate intervention led to successful weaning in the current patient.
