Since the first surgical techniques for esophageal motility disorders were described in the early twentieth century, the Atlas of knowledge in regarding its varied pathology has grown immensely. Workup is multimodal using a variety of functional imaging and physiologic tools. Medical management, while typically first line, is mostly ineffective.

Symptoms of chest pain and dysphagia are common in the adult population. Most patients initially undergo an evaluation to exclude anatomic causes (ie, esophagitis, stricture) and cardiovascular disease as the etiology of these symptoms. Patients with persistent symptoms may then be referred for specialized testing of the esophagus, including esophageal

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2020
High‐resolution manometry (HRM) is a key method to evaluate esophageal motility disorders. Current evaluation is usually performed with single water swallows (SWS) that may not challenge esophageal function or reproduce symptoms. Solid food swallows (SFS)

Clinical significance of esophagogastroduodenoscopy in patients with esophageal motility disorders
Digestive Endoscopy, 2020The first aim of this study was to elucidate the detection rate of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in patients complaining of dysphagia with esophageal motility disorders; the second was to clarify the useful parameters of EGD associated with esophageal
