Achalasia is a disorder of the esophagus characterized by decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation and absence of esophageal peristalsis. Botulinum toxin (BT) injection targeting the LES has been used in the treatment of achalasia and other esophageal motility disorders, and it is considered to be safe and effective for short-term symptomatic relief. Serious adverse events of this ...
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a form of transluminal natural orifice surgery (NOTES) that uses the beginnings submucosal endoscopy to make equivalent surgical myotomy. POEM can be done in most patients who have primary idiopathic achalasia demonstrated manometrically symptomatic. Previous therapies for achalasia, such as pneumatic balloon dilation, botulinum toxin injection, or myotomy, ...
here, we present a case of a 78-year-old man that underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy because of one- monthhistory of dysphagia to liquids and solid foods with accompanying weight loss. on endoscopy, there was distalesophageal stenosis. multiple biopsies were obtained. histologic examination of the samples revealed normaltissue. the stenosis was treated by dilatation and abdomino pelvic comput...
Achalasia is the best understood and most readily treatable esophageal motility disorder. It serves as a prototype for disorders of the enteric nervous system with degeneration of the myenteric neurons that innervate the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and esophageal body. Investigations into the pathogenesis have highlighted the importance of nitric oxide and the possible role of an autoimmun...
Background: Eckardt score and Achalasia quality of life (ASQ) are two scoring systems used in achalasia. This study tries to compare these scores assessing the severity disease before 3 months after initiation treatment. Methods: 40 patients newly diagnosed with achalasia cardia were included this study. ASQ calculated at time presentation. Patients underwent either Laparoscopic Heller myotomy ...
BACKGROUND Achalasia is the most recognized motor disorder of the esophagus. Because it is an uncommon disease, most studies have reviewed small numbers of patients. Here, we report demographic, clinical features and treatment outcomes in 700 achalasia patients. METHODS In all patients, diagnosis was established based on clinical, radiological, endoscopic and manometric criteria. A questionnair...
BACKGROUND Distinguishing achalasia from pseudoachalasia can be difficult, as the clinical, radiological, and manometric findings can be similar to those seen in achalasia. The features that may differentiate achalasia from pseudoachalasia are reviewed and the pathogenesis of pseudoachalasia is discussed. METHODS A patient presented with a clinical scenario of achalasia that was documented by...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Achalasia is classified into 3 types according to the Chicago classification. The aim of this study was to investigate characteristics and treatment outcomes of 3 achalasia subtypes in Korean patients. METHODS Fifty-five patients diagnosed with achalasia based on conventional or high-resolution esophageal manometry were consecutively enrolled. Their clinical characteristics, m...
