Down the Hatch - The Swallowing Podcast

Shownotes Transcript

Laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC)is one of the most complicated and critical swallowing events, but it remains poorly understood. In this episode of Down the Hatch (The Swallowing Podcast), we continue the Swallowing Physiology Series, with Ianessa and Alicia discussing the ins and outs of LVC and why it is often misunderstood and under-appreciated. By the end of the podcast, hopefully you will understand why listing poor or incomplete epiglottic inversion provides insufficient information about the cause of this type of LVC impairment.
