Problems associated with impaired gastrointestinal function are common in children with cerebral palsy. Typical gastrointestinal manifestations of cerebral palsy include dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease and constipation, which in chronic course lead to the development of nutritional status disorders, micronutrient insufficiency, osteopenia, reduced immunity and rehabilitation potential. Often it is the gastroenterological aspects of management of children with cerebral palsy that determine the quality of life of the child and his family.
