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 has the ability to detect small esophageal webs resulting from insignificant mucosal and submucosal foldings.

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.
