Atypical Manometric Abnormality of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter: A Procedure-Related, Stress-Induced Phenomenon?
Stress-induced esophageal contraction abnormalities have been well documented in the literature, but relatively little is known about stress-related lower esophageal sphincter (LES) dysfunction. Two patients are described in whom initial manometry studies revealed LES hypertension and impaired LES r...
