Barium was swallowed under fluoroscopic observation. There was no
abnormality of the swallowing mechanism. The esophagus appeared
intrinsically and extrinsically normal. There was however
significant gastro-esophageal reflux into the upper esophagus
during what is siphon test.
Stomach revealed no mucosal ulceration or mass. There was normal
