case_images: PCF from C3 to T3 without reduction or decompression [Figure 1]. Postoperatively, he developed severe dysphagia without hoarseness or any other neurological deficit.
case_images: Video fluoroscopic evaluation shows inflow of contrast medium into the intralaryngeal space, and narrowing of the esophageal entrance (left). Enlargement with a bougie dilated the narrow esophagus and enabled formation of a new space to sufficiently move the epiglottis (right).

case_images: The video fluoroscopic evaluation showed pooling of contrast at the epiglottic vallecula and inflow into the trachea [Figure 2]. Thus, a feeding tube was introduced and was accompanied by several unsuccessful trials to stretch the esophagus [Figure 2].
