| Abstrakt: | Purpose of Review: To summarize current understanding of and recent literature on the management of sialorrhea in children. Recent Findings: Sialorrhea is a symptom of oropharyngeal dysphagia and reduced clearance. Sialorrhea can be anterior, with forward overflow of saliva, causing skin rash, social embarrassment and spillage on communication devices; or posterior, where there is pharyngeal pooling of saliva, which may cause aspiration.Assessment of sialorrhea involves a clinical evaluation, focusing on the individual's age, development, underlying medical condition and whether the sialorrhea is anterior, posterior or both. Craniomaxillofacial structure, posture, airway patency, neuromotor control, level of social awareness, motivation and caregiver concerns are assessed. To manage sialorrhea, integration of multiple strategies is usually needed. There is good evidence for behavioral intervention, oral appliances, anticholinergic medications, botulinum toxin injection and surgery. The role of various options of surgery in providing a longer lasting effect is supported. Adjunctive airway and craniomaxillofacial surgery may be indicated. Summary: Sialorrhea is a modifiable condition with multifactorial causes requiring multimodal therapy by an inter-disciplinary team. There is increasing evidence on the role of saliva surgery in improving the quality of life for the person with sialorrhea and their caregivers. (Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
