Esophageal motility disorders
The diagnosis of esophageal motor disorders is based on the results of esophageal manometry in patients with dysphagia, gastro-esophageal reflux associated symptoms or chest pain. Recently, the development of high resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) with esophageal pressure topography plots modified the diagnosis process in patients with esophageal motility disorders. Esophageal motility diso...
متن کاملEsophageal motility disorders: medical therapy.
Symptoms of chest pain and dysphagia are common in the adult population. Most patients initially undergo an evaluation to exclude anatomic causes (ie, esophagitis, stricture) and cardiovascular disease as the etiology of these symptoms. Patients with persistent symptoms may then be referred for specialized testing of the esophagus, including esophageal manometry. Disorders of esophageal motilit...
متن کاملSpectrum of esophageal motility disorders: implications for diagnosis and treatment.
BACKGROUND The named primary esophageal motility disorders (PEMDs) are achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm (DES), nutcracker esophagus (NE), and hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter (HTN-LES). Although the diagnosis and treatment of achalasia are well defined, such is not the case with the other disorders. HYPOTHESIS (1) Symptoms do not reliably distinguish PEMDs from gastroesophageal refl...
متن کاملClinical Application of Esophageal High-resolution Manometry in the Diagnosis of Esophageal Motility Disorders
Esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) is replacing conventional manometry in the clinical evaluation of patients with esophageal symptoms, especially dysphagia. The introduction of HRM gave rise to new objective metrics and recognizable patterns of esophageal motor function, requiring a new classification scheme: the Chicago classification. HRM measurements are more detailed and more easil...
متن کاملRelationship between esophageal clinical symptoms and manometry findings in patients with esophageal motility disorders: a cross-sectional study
Background: Manometry is the gold-standard diagnostic test for motility disorders in the esophagus. The development of high-resolution manometry catheters and software displays of manometry recordings in color-coded pressure plots have changed the diagnostic assessment of esophageal disease. The diagnostic value of particular esophageal clinical symptoms among patients suspected of esophageal m...
