Other conditions

Other conditions that can have associated feeding problems:

• Craniofacial anomalies, where anatomical problems interfere with eating and feeding
• Developmental delay, where oral-motor or self-feeding skills are impaired
• Muscular dystrophy, where oral-motor problems or other reasons for problems with self-feeding exist
• Williams syndrome, where abnormal tooth development and other oral-motor problems exist
• Neurodevelopmental conditions that impair mechanical aspects of eating (e.g., Arnold-Chiari malformation associated with myelomeningocele can interfere with swallowing)
