Abstract:
Esophageal motor disorders can be primarily focused in the esophagus or secondarily related to a systemic disease. Based on the manometric findings, primary esophageal motor disorders can also be classified into achalasia and spastic disorders, such as diffuse esophageal spasm, nutcracker esophagus, hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter, and nonspecific esophageal motility disorders.
