Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) was done for the diagnosis and the botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) was injected to the cricopharyngeal muscle. UES dysfunction improved and oral feeding was possible after the injection. This normal swallowing function remained for over 79 months which was confirmed by follow up VFSS.
