Figure 2 Videofluoromanometry study.
A: Aspiration during swallowing (arrow) for the reduced laryngeal closure with an incomplete upper esophageal sphincter (UES) release; B: The same occurred in the course of the chin-down posture; this posture resolved the aspiration because it placed the epiglottis in a more protective position of the airways and restricted the airway entrance.
