Disturbances of Esophageal Motility in Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Case Series

Esophageal manometry (EM) findings were reviewed in 14 (13 male) adults diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). One had complete nonperistaltic contractions (amplitude range = 30–180 mmHg) and incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), suggesting vigorous achalasia. After 6...

Zusammenfassung:	Esophageal manometry (EM) findings were reviewed in 14 (13 male) adults diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). One had complete nonperistaltic contractions (amplitude range = 30–180 mmHg) and incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), suggesting vigorous achalasia. After 6 months of steroid therapy the repeat EM showed near-normal findings. One had total aperistalsis with contraction amplitudes less than 10 mmHg and a weak LES pressure (8 mmHg), criteria suggesting scleroderma. Two had low-amplitude (
