title: Modification of compensatory swallowing in a supraglottic laryngectomy patient.
abstract: Results are presented for repeated videofluoroscopic and scintigraphic examinations of a supraglottic laryngectomy patient, illustrating the successful use and later changes in a compensatory swallow. Issues in patient management are outlined, stressing the importance of interaction between radiologists and dysphagia therapists in the rehabilitation of such patients.
