Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) - Cause This occurs when the valve between the lower end of the esophagus and the stomach (the lower esophageal sphincter) does not close tightly enough. Most of the time, GERD happens when the valve relaxes at the wrong time and stays open too long. Normally, the valve is only open for a few seconds when you swallow.

Overview Esophagitis can cause painful, difficult swallowing and chest pain. Causes of esophagitis include stomach acids backing up into the esophagus, infection, oral medications and allergies. Treatments for esophagitis depend on the underlying cause and the severity of tissue damage. If left untreated, esophagitis can damage the lining, interfere with normal function and lead to complications such as scarring, stricture and difficulty swallowing.

Overview 1 Esophageal ring. A thin area of narrowing in the lower esophagus can intermittently cause difficulty swallowing solid foods.  Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Damage to esophageal tissues from stomach acid backing up into your esophagus can lead to spasm or scarring and narrowing of your lower esophagus.

- Esophagus symptoms can also result from inflammation, infection, or dysfunction in the stomach or esophagus itself. Impaired motility and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) are other types of esophagus symptoms, which have multiple causes such as ulceration, strictures, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and scleroderma. Tumors, whether inside or alongside the esophagus, can also interfere with swallowing.

- There are many potential causes for spinal stenosis, including: 1  Aging: With age, the body's ligaments (tough connective tissues between the bones in the spine) can thicken.  Arthritis: Two forms of arthritis that may affect the spine are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Scleroderma Esophageal (Throat) Involvement Scleroderma Esophageal (Throat) Involvement. Overview. Systemic scleroderma can affect the esophagus in many ways. It can cause Barrrett's esophagus, candida, hoarseness, dysmotility, ulcers, heartburn, and throat spasms. Regular thorough testing is necessary to ascertain the extent of involvement.

GERD Causes and Risk Factors GERD is caused by frequent acid reflux — the backup of stomach acid or bile into the esophagus. When you swallow, the lower esophageal sphincter — a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of your esophagus — relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into your stomach.

Aortic Valve Stenosis - Topic Overview Problems that can cause aortic valve stenosis include: Calcium buildup on the aortic valve. As you age, calcium can build up on the valve, making it hard and thick. A heart defect you were born with (congenital). Rheumatic fever or endocarditis. These infections can damage the valve.

- Acid reflux may also be the cause or a contributing factor in some cases of asthma, posterior laryngitis, chronic cough, dental erosions, chronic hoarseness, pharyngitis, subglottic stenosis or stricture, nocturnal choking, and recurrent pneumonia.

Esophageal Stricture â Causes of Narrowing of the Esophagus What is an esophageal stricture? An esophageal stricture is an abnormal narrowing at some point in the esophagus. It can be due to inflammation or a growth in the esophageal wall protruding into the lumen (intrinsic), compression on the esophagus from a neighboring structure (extrinsic) or dysfunction of the esophageal wall muscle tone or activity (motor).

- Aortic valve stenosis is narrowing of the aortic valve. Many things can narrow this passageway between your heart and aorta. Causes of aortic valve stenosis include: Congenital heart defect. The aortic valve consists of three tightly fitting, triangular-shaped flaps of tissue called leaflets.

- An esophageal stricture is a gradual narrowing of the esophagus, which can lead to swallowing difficulties. The strictures are caused by scar tissue that builds up in the esophagus. When the lining of the esophagus is damaged, scarring develops. When scarring occurs, the lining of the esophagus becomes stiff.

- Aortic valve stenosis occurs when there is a thickening or narrowing of the aortic heart valve. This reduces blood flow from the heart to the aorta and the rest of the body. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It leads from the left ventricle down to the lower part of the body.

What is Aortic Valve Stenosis? Causes of Aortic Valve Stenosis. Several conditions can cause your aortic valve to thicken. Among them are: Calcium buildup: Your blood carries calcium, among other minerals and nutrients. As blood passes through the aortic valve year after year, calcium deposits can form on the valve. This can make it stiffer, so it won’t fully open.

Esophageal dysphagia Esophageal stricture can also be due to other causes, such as acid reflux from Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, trauma from a nasogastric tube placement, and chronic acid exposure in patients with poor esophageal motility from scleroderma.

- Updated December 16, 2014. An esophageal stricture is a gradual narrowing of the esophagus, which can lead to swallowing difficulties. The strictures are caused by scar tissue that builds up in the esophagus. When the lining of the esophagus is damaged, scarring develops. When scarring occurs, the lining of the esophagus becomes stiff.

Esophageal dysphagia Esophageal dysphagia arises from the body of the esophagus, lower esophageal sphincter, or cardia of the stomach, usually due to mechanical causes or motility problems.

Picture of the Esophagus 1 Achalasia: A rare disease in which the lower esophageal sphincter does not relax properly. 2  Difficulty swallowing and regurgitation of food are symptoms. 3  Esophageal cancer: Although serious, cancer of the esophagus is uncommon. This is often caused by chronic reflux. 2  Esophageal stricture: A narrowing of the esophagus. 3  Chronic irritation from reflux is the usual cause of esophageal strictures. 4  Achalasia: A rare disease in which the lower esophageal sphincter does not relax properly.
