Abstract
FTT is common in children with PTLS. We hypothesize that oropharyngeal dysphagia and hypotonia likely contribute to FTT in patients with PTLS and recommend that once a diagnosis is established, the individual be assessed for feeding and growth issues and be availed of oromotor therapy and nutritional services.
