| A barium swallow examination (figure) and computed tomography (CT) revealed that a large anterior cervical osteophyte was present from C3 down to C7 and had indented the pharynx. Upon extubation 2 weeks later, the patient had continued extremity weakness and was aspirating fluids; a modified barium swallow study showed oropharyngeal dysphagia. Speech pathologists and radiologists have developed procedures for modified barium swallow approaches, including positional and postural adjustments and various liquid and solid mediums, for optimal diagnostic value. |
