Corkscrew esophagus (also referred as rosary bead esophagus) is a classic finding of diffuse esophageal spasm (DES) in barium studies reflecting abnormal contractions, leading to compartmentalization and curling of the esophagus, ultimately giving an appearance similar to a corkscrew or rosary beads. We review the pathophysiology of this finding, correlating it to corkscrew and rosary images that originated this classic description.
螺旋状食管（也称为念珠状食管）是钡餐研究中弥漫性食管痉挛（DES）的典型表现，反映了异常收缩，导致食管分隔和卷曲，最终呈现出类似于螺旋状或念珠状的外观。我们回顾了这一发现的病理生理学，并将其与产生这一经典描述的螺旋状和念珠状图像相关联。
