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 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 کاملDiffuse oesophageal spasm: diagnosis by ambulatory 24 hour manometry.
BACKGROUND Diffuse oesophageal spasm (DOS) is a potential cause of intermittent chest pain and/or dysphagia. In the past, the diagnosis of DOS has relied on criteria obtained from standard oesophageal manometry (more than one simultaneous contraction in a series of 10 wet swallows with the rest being peristaltic). As symptoms are intermittent, however, 24 hour manometry may well be more suited ...
متن کاملOesophageal Spasm
Osgood (1889) is generally credited with the introduction of the term " diffuse spasm " of the oesophagus. However, though Moersch and Camp (1934) recorded a classical description of the clinical and radiological features of the disease it attracted little interest until the introduction of oesophageal motility studies in the 1950s. Since then a characteristic motility pattern has been describe...
