A 78-year-old man with amyloidosis involving the esophagus is described. The clinical and radiographic features resembled classic achalasia, while esophageal manometrics demonstrated aperistalsis, incomplete LES relaxation, but a normal LES resting pressure. A review of the literature suggests that esophageal amyloid may have variable presentations. This patient was successfully managed with forceful pneumatic bag dilatation.
本文描述了一名患有食管淀粉样变性的78岁男性。其临床和影像学特征类似于典型的贲门失弛缓症，而食管测压显示无蠕动、LES松弛不完全，但LES静息压正常。文献回顾表明，食管淀粉样变可能有多种表现形式。该患者通过强力气囊扩张术成功得到治疗。
