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 Plummer-Vinson syndrome. Videofluoroscopy is superior to barium esophagogram and has the ability to detect small esophageal webs resulting from insignificant mucosal and submucosal foldings which may otherwise go undiagnosed.
Other Imaging Findings
- 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 esophageal webs resulting from insignificant mucosal and submucosal foldings.
