Content: 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. In addition, reports in the literature describe chronic active hepatitis, biliary cirrhosis, and Budd-Chiari syndrome in patients with MCTD. View chapter Purchase book

Conclusions
Esophageal motility disorders are diagnosed and classified using esophageal manometry, with high-resolution manometry now being the gold standard. The Chicago Classification is an evolving classification scheme based on the consensus of an international working group that periodically meets for updates and clarifications.50 The major recognized disorders are the three subtypes of achalasia, distal esophageal spasm, jackhammer esophagus, absent peristalsis, weak peristalsis, and frequent failed peristalsis. The most common symptoms associated with these conditions are dysphagia and chest pain.
