Scope note: Trastornos que afectan la función motora del ESFÍNTER ESOFÁGICO SUPERIOR, del ESFÍNTER ESOFÁGICO INFERIOR, del cuerpo del ESÓFAGO o a una combinación de los mismos. El fallo de los esfínteres en mantener la presión del tono puede producir reflujo de los alimentos y del ácido gástrico hacia el esófago (REFLUJO GASTROESOFÁGICO). Otras afecciones son la hipermotilidad (trastornos espásticos) y el incremento marcado de la amplitud de las contracciones (esófago cascanueces).

Scope note: Disorders affecting the motor function of the UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; the ESOPHAGUS body, or a combination of these parts. The failure of the sphincters to maintain a tonic pressure may result in gastric reflux of food and acid into the esophagus (GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX). Other disorders include hypermotility (spastic disorders) and markedly increased amplitude in contraction (nutcracker esophagus).
