Abstract

Balloon dilatation is a rehabilitation method for cricopharyngeal dysfunction. We applied the method to two cases with persistent dysphagia after various rehabilitations at another hospital. Both cases showed immediate improvements up to resumption of a regular diet.<br>The balloon dilatation method can be adapted safely and securely under laryngeal fiberscope because the cricopharyngeal area is visualized clearly. We confirmed the advantages to otolaryngologists of this treatment for cricopharyngeal dysfunction.
