Plus one more reference on Achalasia:
A recent review on achalasia highlights the recent advances in our understanding of this disorder (Gastroenterol 2013; 145: 954-65). This post is mainly to note it as a useful reference.
Specific topics covered include the following:
- High-resolution manometry
- Criteria for achalasia diagnosis
- Physiology/pathogenesis/pathophysiology. Achalasia is “an autoimmune disease targeting esophageal myenteric neurons with both a cell-mediated and antibody-mediated attack directed against an as yet unidentified antigen.”
- Subtypes (Figure 2 shows, in color, manometric pattens with each subtype)
