Abstract

Gastrointestinal system and feeding dysfunction is common among patients with moderate to severe cerebral palsy (CP) and is associated with poor health and nutritional status. Swallowing disorders, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation are chronic problems in patients with cerebral palsy.For those patients, feeding dysfunction is often the result of interacting variables, including dysfunctional oral-motor control (hypotonia, weak suck, delayed or absent tongue lateralization, persistent tongue thrust, poor lip closure), abnormal neurologic maturation (uncoordinated swallowing mechanism, tonic bite, hyperactive gag reflexes) and poor seating posture during feeding due to an unstable trunk. Communication difficulties may interfere with request for food, expressions of hunger, or indications of food preference. Increased intra-abdominal pressure related to spasticity of the abdominal musculature or constipation may be sufficient to overcome the barrier posed by the lower esophageal sphincter, resulting in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gastroesophageal reflux also may be a result of the enteric nervous system being impaired in some way in individuals who have cerebral palsy. Delayed gastric emptying increases the likelihood of GERD.A multidisciplinary approach, with input from neurologists, physiatrist, gastroenterologists, nurses, occupational therapists, and dieticians, can make a major contribution to the medical wellbeing and quality of life of these patients and caregivers.

Özet

Orta ve şiddetli derecede etkilenmiş serebral palsili (SP) hastalarda gastrointestinal sistem ve beslenme bozuklukları yaygındır ve kötü sağlık ve nutrisyonel durum ile birliktedir. Bu hastalarda yutma bozuklukları, gastroözofageal reflü ve konstipasyon kronik problemlerdir.SP’li hastalarda, beslenme fonksiyonlarında bozukluk; sıklıkla bozulmuş oral motor fonksiyon bozukluğu (hipotoni, zayıf emme, dil lateralizasyonunda gecikme veya yokluk, persistan dil itme, zayıf dudak kapanması), anormal nörolojik maturasyon (koordine olmayan yutma mekanizmaları, tonik ısırma, artmış öğürme refleksi) ve gövde dengesinde bozukluğa bağlı beslenme sırasında kötü oturma postürünün etkileşmesinden kaynaklanır. İletişim güçlükleri yiyecek isteme, acıktığını ifade etme veya yiyecek tercihini belirtmeyi engeller. Karın kaslarının spastisitesine veya konstipasyona bağlı artmış karın içi basıncı, bariyer işlevi gören alt özofageal sfinkter basıncını aşabilir, bu da gastroözofageal reflü hastalığına (GÖRH) neden olur. SP’li bireylerde enterik sinir sitemindeki bozukluk da GÖRH’a neden olabilir. Gecikmiş mide boşalması GÖRH olasılığını arttırır.Nörolog, fiziyatrist, gastroenterolog, hemşire, uğraşı terapisti ve diyetisyenden oluşan multidisipliner bir yaklaşım, SP’li hastalar ve bakıcılarının sağlığını ve yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmeye katkıda bulunabilir.
