An Uncommon Cause of Dysphagia: Postpneumonectomy Syndrome

Figure 3

Anteroposterior spot image on double contrast esophagram demonstrates a leftward deviated esophagus that was appropriately distensible and without fixed narrowing. Expected primary stripping waves were present, and there was no delay in transit of oral contrast through the esophagus. Nonspecific tertiary waves were noted in the distal esophagus (black arrow) but is commonly seen in older patients with presbyesophagus.
