Diagnostic Approach
- EGD first if mechanical concerned
- Barium swallow if subtle / large bolus / Zenker
- Manometry for motility (achalasia, DES, scleroderma)
- VFSS / FEES for oropharyngeal
Achalasia Subtypes (Chicago classification)
- Type I: minimal contractility
- Type II: pan-esophageal pressurization (best response to therapy)
- Type III: spastic + premature contraction
EoE
- Diagnosis: ⥠15 eos/hpf on biopsy
- Treatment: topical steroid (swallow budesonide), dietary elimination, dupilumab
- Esophageal stricture â dilation
Esophageal Cancer
- SCC: alcohol, smoking, achalasia, lye burn
- Adenocarcinoma: Barrettâs (GERD)
