Overview
Videofluoroscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome. Videofluoroscopy is done in patients with normal barium esophagogram who have a high probability of having Plummer-Vinson syndrome.
Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other Imaging Findings
Serial contrasted gastrointestinal radiography or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy may reveal the web in the esophagus.
- Videofluoroscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome.
- A Videofluoroscopy can be done in patients who have a high index of Plummer-Vinson syndrome but with a negative barium esophagogram.
- A videofluoroscopy can detect esophageal webs which may go either missed or underdiagnosed with barium esophagogram.
- Videofluoroscopy has the ability to detect small webs resulting from insignificant mucosal and submucosal foldings.
