Esophageal motility disorder Esophageal motility disorder. An esophageal motility disorder is any medical disorder causing difficulty in swallowing, regurgitation of food and a spasm-type pain which can be brought on by an allergic reaction to certain foods. The most prominent one is dysphagia.

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.

- Esophageal dysphagia. Esophageal dysphagia is a form of dysphagia where the underlying cause arises from the body of the esophagus, lower esophageal sphincter, or cardia of the stomach, usually due to mechanical causes or motility problems. Contents.

Esophagus Pain â Causes of Esophageal Pain Injury to the esophagus may be due to a number of causes. A foreign body that enters the esophagus (like a fish bone or small sharp toys ingested by infants) can lodge in the esophageal lining or cause tears. Very hot foods or drink may also cause trauma to the esophageal lining.

Esophagus The esophagus may be affected by gastric reflux, cancer, prominent dilated blood vessels called varices that can bleed heavily, tears, constrictions, and disorders of motility. Clinical investigations include X-rays using barium, endoscopy, and CT scans.

Esophagitis Esophagitis can be caused by infection, irritation of the esophagus, or inflammation of the lining of the esophagus. Esophagitis can be caused by infection or irritation of the esophagus. Infections of the esophagus can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, including: Candida, a yeast infection.

Causes & Risk Factors for Esophagitis Esophagitis Causes and Risk Factors. The most common cause for esophagitis is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also sometimes called acid reflux disorder or chronic heartburn. In GERD, stomach acid and bile (digestive fluid secreted by the liver) flow back up, or reflux, into the lower part of the esophagus, causing inflammation.

Esophageal Stricture â Causes of Narrowing of the Esophagus 1 Unintentional weight loss.  Esophagitis is the inflammation of the lining of the esophagus which often leads to swelling. Some of the common causes include chronic acid reflux (GERD / gastroesophageal reflux disease), infections or autoimmune causes (eosinophilic esophagitis).

Anorectal manometry, which use catheters to assess muscle and sensation function at the lower end of the GI tract.

Diffuse Esophageal Spasm The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. During swallowing, it contracts in a coordinated way to move food or liquid to the stomach. Diffuse esophageal spasm causes the esophagus to contract in an uncoordinated way.

- Save. Esophageal erosion is a medical term to specify the wear and tear on the esophagus, the tube in the throat that leads from the mouth to the stomach. In most cases, this condition is caused by digestive issues, the most common of which is GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. This disease causes stomach acids to back-up into the esophagus because the sphincter or flap that covers the opening between the esophagus and the stomach does not close properly.

Esophagitis Esophagitis can be caused by infection or irritation of the esophagus. Infections of the esophagus can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, including: 1  Candida, a yeast infection. 2  This is more common in patients with weakened immune systems, such as those with diabetes, HIV/AIDS, patients undergoing chemotherapy, or people who are taking antibiotics or steroids.

Intestinal Motility Disorders Background. The phrase intestinal motility disorders applies to abnormal intestinal contractions, such as spasms and intestinal paralysis. This phrase is used to describe a variety of disorders in which the gut has lost its ability to coordinate muscular activity because of endogenous or exogenous causes.auses of intestinal motility disorders seem to be multifactorial, and only a few have been detected. Degenerative disorders cause pseudo-obstruction along with other problems; however, in patients with pseudo-obstruction, only changes in the nervous and muscular systems have been observed.

GI Motility Program GI Motility Program. GI motility refers to the progression of food, fluids and waste through the digestive tract. Motility problems include acid reflux, chronic constipation and incontinence. Cedars-Sinai's GI Motility Program is unique among motility centers because it treats almost all GI motility problems.

- When contractions in the esophagus become irregular, unsynchronized or absent, the patient is said to have esophageal dysmotility. The areas of dysfunction in the esophagus may be in the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), the body of the esophagus or the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Oropharyngeal and UES dysfunction may be caused by neurologic and neuromuscular diseases or may be of unknown cause.

Review Key Points. Esophageal motility is best evaluated using a combination of endoscopy and barium x-ray study. In achalasia, endoscopy helps to rule out gastroesophageal junction malignancy. In scleroderma, endoscopic findings relate to a hypotensive lower esophageal sphincter. In the spastic disorders of the esophagus, endoscopy is often normal.

Esophageal Spasm  [en EspaÃ±ol] Often, symptoms that may suggest esophageal spasm are the result of another condition such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or achalasia. Achalasia is a problem with the nervous system in which the muscles of the esophagus and the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) don't work properly.

Calcium channel blockers and motility disorders of the esophagus. Calcium channel blockers and motility disorders of the esophagus. Andersson KE. In animal experiments, esophageal smooth muscle, including the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) has been shown to be dependent on extracellular calcium both for tone and agonist induced contractions. Calcium channel blockers (CCB) suppress contractile activity, and block both resting and stimulated calcium influx.

Gastroesophageal Reflux and Atrial Fibrillation GERD occurs when acidic gastric contents move in a retrograde manner into the esophagus exceeding the normal limit, causing symptoms with or without esophageal mucosal injury. GERD can be caused by poor esophageal motility, which decreases the clearance of acidic contents.
