case_images: From the radiologist's perspective, the VFSS also revealed a circumferential, thin, linear radiolucent defect in the upper third of the esophagus at the level of C5 near the cricopharyngeus muscle, which is suggestive of an esophageal web measuring approximately 0.2 cm (Figure 1). Mild laryngeal aspiration can also be noted (Figure 1).
case_images: Follow-up study after the patient was treated with complete resolution of the esophageal web and no laryngeal aspiration.
