Interpretation of a Manometric Trace of the Upper Esophageal Sphincter
TO THE EDITOR: While reporting the complexity behind the interpretation of the manometric trace of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), Bhatia and Shah wrote: “It is a technically demanding procedure due to the anatomy of the UES, as is the movement of the sphincter during swallowing.” We agree with the authors that some of the difficulties are due to the movement of the sphincter during swall...
متن کاملA dissection of a manometric trace of the upper esophageal sphincter and the crico-esophageal coordination.
A dissection of a manometric trace of the upper esophageal sphincter and the crico-esophageal coordination Although manometry is the most accurate method for diagnosing esophageal motility disorders, several patient suffering of high dysphagia remain undiagnosed. Most Authors concentrate their efforts in studying the coordination between the pharynx and the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), whi...
متن کاملUpper Esophageal Sphincter Resting Pressure Varies during Esophageal Manometry
BACKGROUND The upper esophageal sphincter is composed of striated muscle. The stress of intubation and the need to inhibit dry swallows during an esophageal manometry test may lead to variations in basal pressure of this sphincter. Upper esophageal sphincter is usually only studied at the final part of the test. Was observed during the performance of high resolution manometry that sphincter pre...
متن کاملAnal sphincter dysfunction in multiple sclerosis: an observation manometric study
Constipation, obstructed defecation, and fecal incontinence are frequent complaints in multiple sclerosis. The literature on the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these disorders is scant. Using anorectal manometry, we compared the anorectal function in patients with and without multiple sclerosis. 136 patients referred from our Center for Multiple Sclerosis to the Coloproctology Outpati...
متن کاملVideofluoroscopic and Manometric Evaluation of Pharyngeal and Upper Esophageal Sphincter Function During Swallowing
BACKGROUND/AIMS The purpose of this study was to determine important manometric metrics for the analysis of pharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter (UES) function and to investigate the effect of viscosity and other confounding factors on manometric results. METHODS Manometric studies were performed on 26 asymptomatic volunteers (12 men and 14 women; age, 19-81 years). The manometric protoc...
