Achalasia and diffuse oesophageal spasm in siblings.
We report the occurrence of achalasia and diffuse oesophageal spasm in brother and sister. The familial occurrence of these unusual disorders is consistent with the possibility that they share a common aetiology and indicates the potential importance of genetic predisposition.
متن کاملEffect of gastrin heptadecapeptide (G17) on oesophageal contractions in patients with diffuse oesophageal spasm.
An intravenous bolus of pentagastrin significantly increased the amplitude and duration of oesophageal body contractions in seven patients with diffuse oesophageal spasm (DES) when compared with five normal subjects (P greater than 0.05). In order to determine whether this stimulation also occurred at physiological gastrin concentrations, the effect of an intravenous infusion of gastrin heptade...
متن کاملAnomalies of peristalsis in idiopathic diffuse oesophageal spasm.
Oesophageal manometry revealed 'interrupted peristalsis'--proximal sequential contraction with simultaneous pressure increases in the mid-oesophagus and sequential contraction distally--and abnormally slow distal propagation of peristalsis in seven of a consecutive series of 12 patients with idiopathic diffuse oesophageal spasm (IDOS). These two abnormalities occurred together in six patients. ...
متن کاملFunctional results after extended myotomy for diffuse oesophageal spasm.
BACKGROUND The role of surgery in the management of patients with diffuse oesophageal spasm (DOS) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to assess functional results after extended myotomy for DOS. METHODS This prospective study evaluated 20 patients who had extended myotomy (14 cm on the oesophagus and 2 cm below the oesophagogastric junction) with anterior fundoplication via a lap...
متن کاملIntracardiac Leiomyomatosis
Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a histologically benign smooth-muscle tumor arising from either a uterine myoma or the walls of a uterine vessel with extension into veins. We describe echocardiographic features of intravenous leiomyomatosis with spread into the right-sided cardiac chambers. The patient was a middle-aged woman, with prior history of hysterectomy 2 years earlier who presented with ...
