[Non cardiogenic, chest pain, probably caused by gastroesophageal reflux and esophageal motor disorder, discussion of 1 case].
A 62 year-old woman with a long history of chest pain and gastroesophageal reflux symptoms was studied. A cardiovascular cause was excluded and the esophagus was considered. Manometry and 24-hour ambulatory pH-metry evidenced gastroesophageal reflux and an esophageal motor disorder. The patient had a good response to antacids and H2-blockers and remains asymptomatic after 2 years with the same treatment.
