We describe two patients with severe, isolated, congenital dysphagia caused by paralysis of the pharyngeal muscles, who recovered at the ages of 40 months and 20 months, respectively. No other evidence of neurologic or muscular dysfunction was present except for a transient paralysis of the adductors of the vocal cords in one child. Radiocinematographic studies showed paralysis of the pharyngeal stage of swallowing, with minimal involvement of the oral stage.

In order to verify whether it is possible to reproduce the physiologic anterior elevation of the shoulder with a non constrained Neer type prosthesis, the authors have examined the dynamic comportement of 21 total shoulder arthroplasties. Recording of anterior active elevation with video-fluoroscopy and evaluation glenohumeral motion and scapulothoracic motion allowed to distinguish 3 types of biomechanics after total shoulder replacement. A first group of prosthesis (4 cases) had normal biomechanics with conservation of a normal scapulohumeral rythm.

A radiocinematographic procedure of the pharyngeal examination of snorers is presented. By swallowing, by the production of pharyngeal sounds and by the forced inspiration which produces snoring sounds a dysfunction or an obstruction in the upper respiration tract can be located. This method is a useful diagnostic aid in snoring disease which should precede surgical interventions in the pharynx.
