Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a complications of patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities. We examined on 17 patients who operated with GERD. They were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was comprised of young cases with severe spasticity and chronic respiratory insufficiency. They were under 23 years old. Group 2 with severe intellectual disabilities, aerophagia and/or rumination. They were around 30 years old. Older patients had deformities of the stomach and esophagus. After the operations, fourteen patients had a fair prognosis, three had persistent gastroesophageal reflux (GER), and six patients had subsequent relapse of their GER, and two died.
