Clinical Characteristics and Novel Manometric Features of Pseudoachalasia: Identification of Loss of Respiratory Variation in Lower Esophageal Sphincter Pressure

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pseudoachalasia closely mimics idiopathic achalasia in both symptoms and high‐resolution manometry (HRM) findings, making accurate diagnosis difficult. This study aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of pseudoachalasia encountered at our institution and identify novel manometric findings specific to this condition.
