[Diagnosis and treatment of diffuse esophagospasm].

123 patients with diffuse esophagospasm were observed, including 56 (45.5%) with primary and 67 (55.5%) with secondary esophagospasm. Since 1986 due to unsatisfactory treatment results an original therapeutic complex including spasmolytics, neuroleptics, vitamins B, was used. In secondary esophagospasm therapy was complemented by pneumocardiodilatation, not more 5 sessions per course. Good and satisfactory clinical results were achieved in 30 (66.7%) patients with primary diffuse esophagospasm and in 45 (67.2%) patients with secondary esophagospasm.
