Results: mean age 49.08±14.4 (18-90). 213 (54.5%) them female, 178 (45.5%) male. symptom reflux 56.8% (222/391) patients, dysphagia 43.2% (169/391). While there no esophagitis 78.2% who had endoscopy, found 21.8% them. Pathological detected 73.5% whose 24-hour pH measured. In repeated manometry results due increased complaints their follow-up initial findings compatible NEMD, 18 achalasia, 5 nutcracker esophagus, 4 diffuse spasm (DES).
