Manometric features of eosinophilic esophagitis in esophageal pressure topography

Abstract

The prevalence of abnormal esophageal motility in EoE was approximately 37% and was similar in frequency and type to motor patterns observed in GERD. Eosinophilic esophagitis patients were more likely to have abnormal bolus pressurization patterns during swallowing and we hypothesize that this may be a manifestation of reduced esophageal compliance.
