It involves passing a soft spaghetti-like scope through the child\u2019s nose while awake. We can then visualize the voice box area and assess for vocal cord motion and sensation around the voice box area. The child is then fed and we can directly see what happens to the food as it enters the mouth until it travels to the upper part of the esophagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We perform the study with a pediatric speech therapist. The study is video taped for complete review and analysis. The study provides some different and some complimentary information to the video swallow examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class=\"custom-cta\">\r\n    <div class=\"custom-cta-text\">\r\n        Call Pediatric Ear, Nose &#038; Throat Specialists of Illinois for more information or to schedule an appointment.\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"custom-cta-phone\">\r\n        <a href=\"tel:+18476745585\" class=\"phone \"><svg width=\"17\" height=\"26\" viewBox=\"0 0 17 26\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M13 1H3.4C2.07452 1 1 2.07452 1 3.4V22.6C1 23.9255 2.07452 25 3.4 25H13C14.3255 25 15.4 23.9255 15.4 22.6V3.4C15.4 2.07452 14.3255 1 13 1Z\" stroke=\"#0B2874\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<path d=\"M8.13928 20.2H8.25928\" stroke=\"#0B2874\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<span class=\"phone-number\">(847) 674-5585<\/span><\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Functional Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing?
