摘要：

In a patient with unilateral pharyngeal paralysis, rotation of the head to the paralyzed side can effectively close the hemipharynx on that side. However, the exact level or place of closure is unknown. Serial computed tomography of the pharynx in a patient with lateral medullary syndrome showed that hemipharyngeal closing occurred at the level of the hyoid bone, or the hypopharyngeal cavity above the pyriform sinus, and that the entire space of the bilateral pyriform sinuses remained open despite the head rotation.
