Abstract
Retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction is a newly described syndrome characterized by the inability to belch, loud abdominal gurgling, excessive flatulence, and pain or distension of the low neck, chest, or abdomen. Treatment is with botulinum toxin injection into the cricopharyngeus muscle. We present a pediatric case of this syndrome to increase awareness among the medical community and for clinicians to expand their index of suspicion for retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction.
