Abstract

A palatal appliance with oropharyngeal tube that reduces the upper airway obstructions of an eleven-month-old male infant with severe cerebral palsy is presented. The palatal appliance was composed of the base plate, the outer guide tube that held the oropharyngeal tube inside it, and the extra outer guide tube for the suction catheter. After the setting of the appliance, respiratory distress was improved with-out side effects.
