    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Dysphagia is a common symptom that can be due to disease, but can also occur without a known cause.

  4. 7. Gastroesephageal reflux and related motility disorders after esophageal atresia : a clinical study

    Author : Madeleine Montgomery; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Esophageal atresia; tracheoesophageal fistula; gastroesophageal reflux; esophageal pH monitoring; respiratory function; gastric emptying; videomanometry STOCKHOLM 1997;

    Abstract : The most common congenital malformation of the esophagus is esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Successful repair of EA does not ensure normal esophageal function. Disturbed esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often detected after repair of EA. READ MORE
