Abstract
Five patients with Sandifer syndrome are reported. The diagnosis may frequently be overlooked, especially when the patient has a milder or incomplete form of the syndrome. None of the children had hiatal hernia, so this is not an essential requirement for the syndrome. The abnormal posturing associated with this syndrome may be the result of extreme sensitivity of the esophagus to refluxed gastric acid.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
