Abstract
A infant with cricopharyngeal dysphagia was reported. The patient developed swallowing difficulty with dyspnea, cough and vomiting after birth. Radiologic examination for swallowing showed cricopharyngeal impression, nasal regurgitation and aspiration. The patient was fed for 10 months through a nasogastric tube. Swallowing function improved gradually with the development of age. The methods of diagnosis and treatment of cricopharyngeal dysphagia were discussed with special reference to radiologic assessment for infant with dysphagia. The authors emphasized the necessity of careful radiologic assessments for infants.
