Overview

The videofluorographic swallowing study is the gold standard for evaluating the patients presenting with dysphagia. VFSS provides information about delay in initiation of pharyngeal swallowing, nasopharyngeal regurgitation, residue of ingestate within the pharyngeal cavity after swallowing, and aspiration of ingestate.

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Endoscopy Indications

The endoscopy should be performed when the patient presented with symptoms of: [1]

Video Fluoroscopic Swallowing Study

Video fluoroscopic swallowing study, also known as modified barium swallow, is used as the initial study for the evaluation of oropharyngeal dysphagia. VFSS provides the following information about the oropharyngeal swallowing mechanism:[2][3][4][5]

  • Delay in initiation of pharyngeal swallowing
  • Nasopharyngeal regurgitation
  • Residue of ingestate within the pharyngeal cavity after swallowing
  • Aspiration of ingestate{{#ev:youtube|xu_YYOAlZEw}}
