Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Videofluoroscopy is a radiographic imaging technique that provides real-time visualization of the swallowing process. It enables visualization of the oral cavity, pharynx, and esophagus during swallowing. However, pharyngeal flap or sphincter pharyngoplasty (choice C) is a surgical procedure used to treat velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) where a flap of tissue is raised from the back of the throat to create a valve-like closure between the oral and nasal cavities. This procedure involves the use of surgical instruments and is not easily viewed through videofluoroscopy. Choices A, B, D, and E are easily viewed through videofluoroscopy as they involve the movement and coordination of structures during swallowing.
