Postfundoplication Dysphagia Causes Similar Water Ingestion Dynamics as Achalasia.
BACKGROUND - After surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease dysphagia is a symptom in the majority of patients, with decrease in intensity over time. However, some patients may have persistent dysphagia. OBJECTIVE - The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the dynamics of water ingestion in patients with postfundoplication dysphagia compared with patients with dysphagi...
متن کاملEffect of Cold Water on Esophageal Motility in Patients With Achalasia and Non-obstructive Dysphagia: A High-resolution Manometry Study
BACKGROUND/AIMS Swallowing of cold liquids decreases amplitude and velocity of peristalsis in healthy subjects, using standard manometry. Patients with achalasia and non obstructive dysphagia may have degeneration of sensory neural pathways, affecting motor response to cooling. To elucidate this point, we used high-resolution manometry. METHODS Fifteen healthy subjects, 15 non-obstructive dys...
متن کاملEsophageal Contractions After Wet and Dry Swallows in Patients With Esophagitis, Chagas' Disease and Idiopathic Achalasia
BACKGROUND In normal subjects the distal esophageal response to dry swallows differs from that of wet swallows. Our aim in this investigation was to compare the esophageal contractions of the proximal and distal esophageal body to wet and dry swallows. METHODS We studied the esophageal contractions of eight patients with idiopathic achalasia, 37 patients with Chagas' disease, 28 patients with...
متن کاملResponse of Esophagus to High and Low Temperatures in Patients With Achalasia
BACKGROUND/AIMS Achalasia patients would feel exacerbated dysphagia, chest pain and regurgitation when they drink cold beverages or eat cold food. But these symptoms would relieve when they drink hot water. Reasons are unknown. METHODS Twelve achalasia patients (mean age, 34 ± 10 years; F:M, 3:9) who never had any invasive therapies were chosen from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. They...
متن کاملAchalasia--two types in the same patient: case report.
INTRODUCTION A paper presented a case of esophageal achalasia with both type 2 and type 3 achalasia found in the same patient. CASE OUTLINE High resolution impedance manometry of esophagus was performed. Liquid swallows induced panesophageal pressurization (achalasia type 2), whereas viscous swallows led to compartmentalized pressurization--distal two thirds of esophagus (achalasia type 3). N...
