Esophageal diverticula.
Diverticula disease of the esophagus is associated with specific motor dysfunctions. Motility disorders at the pharyngoesophageal junction result from a restrictive pathology of the upper esophageal sphincter. Hyperdynamic motor abnormalities are seen with distal esophageal diverticula. Treatment of the motor disorder is essential in the management of these conditions.
