【 摘 要 】

Modified barium swallow (MBS) studies, performed in conjunction with speech pathologists , are routinely performed to assess for aspiration. The narrow field of view over the area of interest limits assessment of pathology in the thoracic esophagus and airways. We report a case of a 79-year-old female with bronchoesophageal fistula diagnosed incidentally after abnormal findings on an MBS initially performed to assess for aspiration.
