[Frequency of esophageal motor disorders in patients with dysphagia and normal upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy. A manometric study of 289 cases].
289 esophageal manometries performed for 7 years to patients with dysphagia and normal upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy were analyzed, excluding patients with systemic sclerosis and preoperative manometries for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Esophageal motor disorders are frequent in patients with non obstructive dysphagia. Esophageal manometry is important to perform in these patients. Specific treatment is required in patients with achalasia. Systemic sclerosis and gastroesophageal reflux disease should be suspected in patients with esophageal hypomotility.
