Esophageal Motor Disorders in Adults with Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Background An association between eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and esophageal motility disorders has been described in small studies. Aims The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of esophageal motor disorders in a large cohort of adults with EoE and examine whether an association exists between esophageal dysmotility and dysphagia. Methods A retrospective review of esophageal manometry studies in adult EoE patients was performed. Tracings were reviewed for abnormalities including nutcracker esophagus and ineffective swallows, defined as low amplitude peristalsis (
