Difference of achalasia subtypes based on clinical symptoms, radiographic findings, and stasis scores

Revista de Gastroenterología de México (English Edition), 2018
Introduction: Three subtypes of achalasia have been defined through high-resolution esophageal manometry: subtype i shows no pressurization with swallows, subtype ii has increased isobaric panesophageal pressure, and subtype iii has distal esophageal ...

Approach for Diagnostic and Treatment of Achalasia [PDF]

, 2013
Achalasia is a rare motor disorder of the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter. The incidence is approximately 1/100,000 per year and the prevalence rate is 10/100,000.

A functional study of the esophagus in patients with non-cardiac chest pain and dysphagia [PDF]

, 2015
Background/Aims: Nutcracker esophagus and non-specific motility disorders are the main causes of non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP), with gastroesophageal reflux in 60% of cases. Achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm are the most frequent anomalies described

The Milan Score Predicts Objective Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Patients With Type 2 Esophagogastric Junction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
The novel manometric parameter Milan Score could be useful in predicting which patients with type 2 EGJ have a high likelihood of objective GERD, therefore discriminating which patients may need escalation of GERD investigation and management. ABSTRACT Introduction High‐resolution manometry (HRM) allows assessment of esophagogastric junction (EGJ ...

Thoracoscopic Surgery in a Patient with Multiple Esophageal Carcinomas after Surgery for Esophageal Achalasia

Case Reports in Surgery, 2017
We present a case in which we used a thoracoscopic approach for resection of multiple esophageal carcinomas diagnosed 33 years after surgery for esophageal achalasia.

The Milan Score is an Effective Manometric Tool to Predict Gastroesophageal Reflux in Patients With Laryngopharyngeal Symptoms

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Patients with isolated LPS demonstrated a lower likelihood of EGJ disruption, pathologic GERD, and abnormal Milan score. The Milan score performed similarly well in the identification of GERD in both LPS and typical symptoms. The Milan score could therefore be used as an upfront test in LPS patients.

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.

Additional Diagnostic Yield of Ambulatory 24‐h High Resolution Manometry With Impedance in Patients With Non‐Cardiac Chest Pain or Non‐Obstructive Dysphagia

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Spastic and hypercontractile esophageal motor disorders can cause retrosternal pain and/or dysphagia but may be missed by short‐term high resolution manometry (HRM). 24‐h‐HRM detected considerable circadian variability of esophageal contractility and markedly increased the percentage of patients diagnosed with a major motor disorder.

Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Measurement Post‐Pneumatic Dilation in Clinically Relevant Esophagogastric Junction Outlet Obstruction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort study of 29 EGJOO patients receiving PD, FLIP metrics and Eckardt score all improved after PD. In 6 patients requiring early repeat dilation for symptom recurrence, no difference in FLIP findings was identified. ABSTRACT Background Pneumatic dilation (PD) is an effective treatment for disorders of reduced esophageal opening ...

ACHALASIA TREATMENT IMPROVES SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS AND QUALITY OF LIFE: VALIDATION OF AN ACHALASIA SPECIFIC QUALITY OF LIFE QUESTIONNAIRE [PDF]

, 2013
Background and aim: Therapies for achalasia aim to patients’ symptom relief, but they affect patient’s quality of life (QoL), too. An ad hoc question- naire evaluating both achalasia-related symptoms and disease related QoL is lacking. Aim: To validate a
