[A man whose food gets stuck in the back of his throat]. / Een man wiens eten in de keel blijft hangen.

A 21-year-old man visited the GP complaining of food getting stuck in the back of his throat. We saw a thin string of tissue connecting the uvula to the palatopharyngeal arch and removed it surgically. No such case has previously been described in the absence of a history of trauma, infection or operation.
