Original Report

Epiglottic Carcinoma as a Cause of Laryngeal Penetration and Aspiration

Andrew Mong1, Marc S. Levine, Stephen E. Rubesin and Igor Laufer

1 All authors: Department of Radiology, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, 3400 Spruce St., Philadelphia, PA 19104.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our investigation was to review a series of patients with epiglottic carcinoma to elucidate the clinical and videofluoroscopic findings in these individuals.

CONCLUSION. Patients with epiglottic carcinoma often present with symptoms of aspiration or pharyngeal dysphagia of relatively brief duration in the absence of a preexisting neurologic disease. In this clinical setting, barium studies are useful not only for detecting the epiglottic carcinoma but also for delineating the presence and mechanism of laryngeal penetration or tracheobronchial aspiration.
