Cerebral palsy(CP) usually arises in the prenatal period, interferes with normal development of the brain and presents as a disorder of motor dysfunction. It is a common cause of severe neurologic disability in children with incidence of 2 per 1000 live births in Canada. Presently, with the persistent increase in premature births and improved care in the perinatal period, the incidence of CP is strikingly augmented. According to neurologically impaired motor ability, they commonly have feeding difficulties, like swallowing, leading to frequent aspiration pneumonia and gastroesophageal reflux. Therefore, improvement of feeding techniques should be an urgent requirement to correct the risk of poor growth. We report a case of CP due to kernicterus who have recurrent pneumonia and growth failure, experience a jejunostomy to overcome the feeding problems.
