New endoscopic finding of esophageal achalasia with ST Hood short type: Corona appearance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS:Detecting esophageal achalasia remains a challenge. We describe the diagnostic utility of corona appearance, a novel endoscopic finding specific to esophageal achalasia.

An extremely rare coexistence of achalasia cardia with esophageal leiomyoma: An endoscopic treatment approach

International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention, 2020
The coexistence of an esophageal leiomyoma with an achalasia cardia is extremely rare and poses a diagnostic dilemma as the clinical presentation of an esophageal leiomyoma strongly resembles to an achalasia cardia.

Achalasia [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research, 2022
Achalasia is characterized by peristaltic failure and incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. The incidence and prevalence of achalasia increase with age, although achalasia can affect all age groups.

Primary versus secondary achalasia: New signs on barium esophagogram

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2015
Aim: To investigate new signs on barium swallow that can differentiate primary from secondary achalasia. Materials and Methods: Records of 30 patients with primary achalasia and 17 patients with secondary achalasia were reviewed.

Functional restoration of the esophagus after peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a new efficacious treatment option for achalasia. We propose to define "esophageal remodeling" as the functional restoration of the esophagus that involves decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, recovery

Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Achalasia and Achalasia-Like Syndromes: Insights From HRM and FLIP

Gastro Hep Advances, 2023
High-resolution manometry, Chicago Classification v4.0, the functional lumen imaging probe, Panometry, and per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are all now integral parts of the landscape for managing achalasia or, more precisely, achalasia-like syndromes.

Chicago Classification ver. 4.0: Diagnosis of Achalasia and Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2022
Achalasia is a common esophageal motility disorder characterized by inappropriate relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and a loss of normal peristalsis in the esophageal body. The newly suggested Chicago Classification ver.

Esophageal achalasia in a two-year-old boy [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2020
Introduction. Esophageal achalasia is a neurodegenerative motility disorder, which is characterized by ineffective or absent esophageal peristalsis and the lack of hypertonic lower esophageal sphincter relaxation.

The number and size of Lugol‐voiding areas were reduced by pneumatic dilation in a patient with achalasia and esophageal cancer

JGH Open, 2020
Achalasia is a rare benign esophageal motility disease caused by the impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, which results from nerve damage. Patients with achalasia are known to have a high risk of esophageal cancer.

High-resolution manometric features of achalasia of the cardia

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2018
Background: Achalasia of the cardia is a common esophageal motility disorder. High-resolution manometry is the gold standard for the diagnosis of achalasia.
