The first two swallows are within normal limits. The third swallow shows some delay in the trigger and there is some residue after passage of the bolus. There is delay in triggering the swallow with barium filling the pharynx before the bolus is passed. On the fourth swallow an episode of aspiration is noted before repeated penetration and then finally gross and repeated aspiration. The trachea is outlined on its anterior and posterior aspects by the barium. (The radio-opaque artefacts projected over the skull base are earrings) (MPG 1.6 kb)
