Introduction
Esophageal motility disorders are ubiquitous in gastroenterology practice today, and developments in technology have led to a revolution in both their diagnosis and treatment. This chapter focuses on clinically significant esophageal motility disorders relevant to gastrointestinal endoscopy practice, primarily achalasia, but also on other potentially related disorders, including esophagogastric junction (EGJ) outflow obstruction, distal esophageal spasm, hypercontractile esophagus, and ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). For each disorder, we will review what is known regarding etiology and pathophysiology, followed by an exploration of diagnostic options available (both endoscopic and non-endoscopic) and review therapy. We will examine other potential areas in which endoscopic techniques could be employed in the management of esophageal dysmotility, including deep tissue acquisition and potentially endoscopic implantation applications. Finally, we will speculate as to what the near future may hold in the endoscopic management of these challenging conditions. View chapter Purchase book

Gastrointestinal System
Esophageal motility disorders with symptomatic esophageal reflux, including heartburn or regurgitation of food, are very common in patients with MCTD.1,3-9,28-34,41 Less commonly, patients may experience pain or difficulty swallowing. Uncommon features of gastrointestinal involvement in MCTD that have been reported include pseudodiverticula along the antimesenteric border (similar to that described in scleroderma), mesenteric vasculitis, pancreatitis, bacterial overgrowth syndrome, malabsorption, protein-losing enteropathy, pseudoobstruction, serositis, colonic perforation, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
