Large-volume barium aspiration.

چکیده
We present a case of large-volume barium aspiration in a 56-year-old woman with stage IV tongue squamous cell carcinoma and longstanding dysphagia.

Barium aspiration is rare and often produces dramatic radiographic findings, but is generally associated with a favorable prognosis.
