Laryngeal closure in the management of severe long-standing bulbar palsy in a child.

Abstract	An 11-year-old girl developed a severe brainstem encephalopathy thought to be due to multiple sclerosis. She has been left with a severe long-standing bulbar palsy and a permanent tracheostomy. A new operation of laryngeal closure is described which gave relief from recurrent aspiration pneumonia and cardiorespiratory failure.
