[Dysphagia] Fw: CP bar

[Graner.Darlene at mayo.edu (Graner, Darlene E.)]

Cricopharyngeal bar is described in the chapter, "Radiographic Contrast Examination of the Mouth, Pharynx and Esophagus" by Perlman, Lu and Jones (pg 166) in "Deglutition and its Disorders" by Perlman and Schulze-Delrieu.  It's also mentioned as  "cricopharyngeal prominence" or "pharyngeal bar" (pg 71)in "Normal and Abnormal Swallowing: Imaging in Diagnosis and Therapy" by Dr. Bronwin Jones, Professor of Radiology.

I don't have my text in front of me, but I think it is at least described, if not named, in Perlman's text.

Another question--different topic. Where did the term cricopharyngeal bar
originate? Is it a speech or radiology driven term? I ask b/c our
radiologists are unfamiliar with it and the dysphagia book, older edition
by Groher, never mentions a cp bar. Is it a newer term?

I think I first heard it from our radiologists, so maybe a regional
thing????? (I'm in the mid-Atlantic area). Barbara
