Systemic sclerosis frequently affects the esophagus, with high rates of dysphagia and GERD. Diagnostic methods like manometry reveal significant motor and organic esophageal alterations in scleroderma patients.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Systemic sclerosis is a collagen vascular disease.
  • Esophageal involvement is common in systemic sclerosis.
  • Diagnostic methods include clinical, radiological, endoscopic, and manometric studies.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the prevalence of esophageal affection in systemic sclerosis patients.
  • To compare findings with existing literature.
  • To assess the diagnostic value of different evaluation methods.

Summary:

  • 101 systemic sclerosis patients (89 female, 12 male) were evaluated.
  • 82.2% experienced dysphagia, 40.5% had GERD.
  • Radiological, manometric, and endoscopic classifications showed significant esophageal alterations.

Impact:

  • Highlights the high frequency of esophageal involvement in systemic sclerosis.
  • Provides data on the prevalence of specific esophageal dysfunctions.
  • Suggests that while esophageal alterations are diagnostic, they can occur in other collagen diseases less frequently.
