Amyloidosis is usually considered as a cause of motor disorders of the esophagus, including achalasia. However, most patients with amyloid in the esophagus are AL-type amyloid. We report what we believe is the fourth case of secondary amyloidosis (AA-type) resulting from rheumatoid arthritis. Clinically and radiologically the picture was that of achalasia.
淀粉样变性通常被认为是食管运动障碍的一个病因,包括贲门失弛缓症。然而,大多数食管有淀粉样物质沉积的患者为AL型淀粉样变性。我们报告了我们认为是由类风湿关节炎导致的继发性淀粉样变性(AA型)的第四例病例。临床和放射学表现为贲门失弛缓症。
