Hypermotor disorders of the peristalsis of the thoracic esophagus
Hypermotor dyskinesia of the thoracic esophagus is characterized by an increase in its tone and motor function, and this can be observed not only during ingestion of food, but also outside the swallowing act. Approximately 10% of patients with symptomatic disease may not be (latent flow). To diagnose in this case, hypermotor dyskinesia of the esophagus can be based on fluoroscopy of the esophagus, and also by esophageal manometry . The main symptoms of hypermotor dyskinesia of the thoracic esophagus are: dysphagia - difficulty swallowing. It is characteristic that dysphagia is impermanent, during the day it can appear and disappear again, may be absent for several days, weeks, months and again appear.
