1 sty 2018 · INTRODUCTION. The upper esophageal sphincter (UES) located at the pharyngoesophageal junction functions as a protective barrier between the trachea and esophagus. Varied pathologies, such as structural, rheumatologic, infectious, neurological, or iatrogenic, can affect the functions of the UES (1). Here, we report a case of idiopathic patulous ...

Causes of Patulous Esophagus. The exact cause of a patulous esophagus is not fully understood. However, there are several factors that may contribute to its development, including: Rapid weight loss. Pregnancy. Hormonal changes. Nutritional deficiencies. Certain medications. Symptoms of Patulous Esophagus.
10 mar 2024 · Pseudoachalasia (a.k.a. secondary achalasia) is an achalasia-pattern dilatation of the esophagus due to the narrowing of the distal esophagus from causes other than primary denervation. One of the most common causes is a malignancy (often submucosal gastric cancer) with an extension in the lower esophagus.
A patulous esophagus on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the thorax is frequently observed in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Microaspiration has been purported to play a role in the development and progression of SSc interstitial lung disease (ILD), but studies examining the role of microaspiration in SSc ILD have yielded ...
10 sie 2021 · Your esophagus — or the food pipe — is the part of the digestive system that helps food travel from your mouth to your stomach. Different diseases can affect the esophagus, causing dysphagia or difficulty swallowing. The most common esophageal disorder is gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD).
The upper esophageal sphincter (UES) has various important functions, such as protection of the airway from aspiration and conduct of bolus into esophagus, which are controlled by complex neuronal mechanisms.
