✦ Synopsis

Results are presented for repeated videofluoroscopic and scintigraphic examinations of a supraglottic latyngectomy patient, illustrating the successful use and later changes in a compensatory swallow. Issues in patient management are outlined, stressing the importance of interaction between radiologists and dysphagia therapists in the rehabilitation of such patients. HEAD &NECK 12~131-136,1990

Surgery for the treatment of head and neck cancer frequently results in swallowing dysfunction (dysphagia).
