| Popis: |
This case report presents a patient with progressive dysphagia, accompanied by weight loss, in the absence of organic disease. Esophageal motility studies initially failed to reveal a diagnosis. At simultaneous manometry and fluoroscopy, with bread/barium boluses, the diagnosis of esophageal spasm in a relatively weak esophagus was made. All conservative treatment modalities failed. Thoracoscopic myotomy resulted in partial field of symptoms. Finally, an esophagectomy was performed because of sever dysphagia accompanied by persisting weight loss |
