Small airway involvement in cystic fibrosis lung disease: routine spirometry as an early and sensitive marker.

abstract：:Dysfunctional swallowing is an uncommon, but important cause of bronchiectasis. We describe a child with a brainstem tumor, who developed bronchiectasis caused by chronic aspiration secondary to a dysfunctional swallow. The case highlights the importance of thorough and repeated evaluation before a diagnosis of idiopa...
