To retrospectively evaluate the accuracy of videofluoroscopy in the diagnosis of achalasia.
Videofluoroscopic studies of the oesophagus of 53 patients (25 males, 28 females; mean age, 49 years) with manometrically revealed diagnosis of achalasia were retrospectively evaluated. The videofluoroscopic examinations had been carried out with one swallow of low-density barium suspension in the erect and up to three swallows in the prone oblique position. Videofluoroscopically, a diagnosis of achalasia was made in 31 of the patients (58%) with manometrically proven achalasia, of whom only nine had oesophageal dilatation. Non-specific oesophageal motor abnormalities were diagnosed radiographically in 18 patients (34%) and a normal motility in four patients (8%).
Videofluoroscopy is a valuable and sensitive technique for the detection of disordered oesophageal motility in achalasia.
回顾性评估视频透视检查在贲门失弛缓症诊断中的准确性。
回顾性评估53例经测压确诊为贲门失弛缓症患者(25例男性,28例女性;平均年龄49岁)的食管视频透视研究。视频透视检查采用在直立位吞咽一口低密度钡剂悬液,在俯卧斜位最多吞咽三口。视频透视检查显示,53例经测压证实为贲门失弛缓症的患者中有31例(58%)被诊断为贲门失弛缓症,其中只有9例有食管扩张。18例患者(34%)经影像学诊断为非特异性食管运动异常,4例患者(8%)运动功能正常。
视频透视检查是检测贲门失弛缓症食管运动障碍的一种有价值且敏感的技术。
