Atypical Pharyngeal Pouch Arising Bilaterally between the Hyoid Bone and Thyroid Cartilage [PDF]
Introduction. Pharyngoesophageal diverticuli are a common cause of dysphagia; they are associated with various morbidities and a decreased quality of life. There are several different types of the diverticuli, and they are divided based on the anatomical

Utilizing Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSImP) to Characterize Swallowing Function Following Total Laryngectomy. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective We aim to determine the frequency of altered swallowing physiology for ratable components of the 17‐component grading system, the Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSImp), in its current validated state for a cohort of patients post total laryngectomy (TL). Study Design Retrospective study.

Safety of a Novel Upper Esophageal Sphincter Balloon Dilator. [PDF]
The shape of esophageal dilators has not changed in 350 years. We developed a novel upper esophageal balloon dilation system for the specific shape of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES). This study compares and demonstrates the equivalent safety profile of UES dilation using the Infinity System to dilation with single and double conventional balloon ...

Inter-rater reliability and clinical relevance of subjective and objective interpretation of videofluoroscopy findings. [PDF]
Subjective normal‐abnormal analysis of videofluoroscopy is highly reproducible, especially in the detection of swallowing efficacy and safety. However, objective measurements could further improve the reliability of videofluoroscopy diagnostics. Abstract Background Dysphagia is commonly evaluated using videofluoroscopy (VFS). As its ratings are usually

In the pharyngoesophageal narrowing ("pharyngoesophageal junction") there is a difference between the smooth and striated pharynx and esophagus, identifying points of weakness where pharyngoesophageal diverticula originate. In 1874 Albert von Zenker along with Ziemssen presented the first scientific publication on these diverticula.
