Modified barium swallow (MBS) studies, performed in conjunction with speech pathologists, are routinely performed to assess for aspiration. The narrow field of view over the area of interest limits assessment of pathology in the thoracic esophagus and airways. We report a case of a 79-year-old female with bronchoesophageal fistula diagnosed incidentally after abnormal findings on an MBS initially performed to assess for aspiration.
改良钡餐吞咽(MBS)检查通常与言语病理学家共同进行,用于评估误吸情况。感兴趣区域的视野狭窄限制了对胸段食管和气道病变的评估。我们报告一例79岁女性患者,最初进行MBS检查以评估误吸,检查结果异常,随后偶然诊断出支气管食管瘘。
