Name: Mr. Noah Reprieve Hospital No.: 000003
Age: 56 Sex: Male Race: White
7-14-91 EXAMINATION DESIRED: Esophagram
REASON FOR EXAM: Carcinoma of esophagus
REPORT:
ESOPHAGRAM:
The swallowing mechanism was observed at fluoroscopy, and spot films were obtained.
Overhead views were then done in AP, lateral and oblique positions while the patient was
swallowing barium. There was an irregularly narrowed area in the midportion of the
esophagus at the approximate level of the aortic knob. This has tapering margins and
measures approximately 5.5 cm in length. It is consistent with the clinical information of
carcinoma of the esophagus. There is no obstruction at this time, and the lumen measures
1.3 cm in its most narrow region.
