Fig. 1A.Fluoroscopic images from 1-year-old boy with pharyngeal
collapse. Image obtained at one point during respiratory cycle shows pharynx
to be air-filled with epiglottis, base of tongue, and posterior pharyngeal
wall well visualized.
Fig. 1B.Fluoroscopic images from 1-year-old boy with pharyngeal
collapse. Image obtained at another point during respiratory cycle shows
collapse of pharynx with lack of aeration. Posterior pharyngeal wall has moved
anteriorly, and posterior aspect of tongue has moved posteriorly and resulted
in collapse of pharynx.
