ABSTRACT
The case of a 20-year-old female with Cockayne syndrome, presenting with reduced intake of food, is described. At admission, her intake of food and her body weight were low. The patient's food swallowing function was recorded by video fluorography and evaluated. Reduced transfer of food boluses to the posterior site of the oral cavity, incomplete formation of boluses in the oral phase, and residual food after swallowing in the pharynx phase were observed. No aspiration was observed, however, during video fluorography. The patient's nutrition was managed by changing her meals to fluid-type food to shorten the eating time.
