Abstract
Retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction (RCPD) syndrome renders patients unable to belch, causing disabling symptoms that impact quality of life. Injection of botulinum toxin into the cricopharyngeal muscle has been reported as a trial treatment for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. We describe the injection technique, under general anesthesia using endoscopy or by transcutaneous injection with electromyographic control.

European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community.
