Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is used to diagnose esophageal motility disorders (EMDs) and rule out organic diseases. Abnormal endoscopic findings during EGD indicate the presence of EMDs. Several endoscopic findings related to EMDs have been reported at the esophagogastric junction and esophageal body. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), often associated with abnormal esophageal motility, can be detected during EGD, and image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) can improve their detection.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is performed to rule out organic diseases in the diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders (EMDs). Abnormal endoscopic findings can be observed during EGD, which indicate the presence of EMDs. Several endoscopic findings at both the esophagogastric junction and esophageal body that are related to EMDs have been reported. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) could be detected during EGD, and these diseases are often associated with abnormal esophageal motility. Image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) could improve the detection of these diseases during EGD. Although no report has been published previously on the potential usefulness of IEE in the endoscopic diagnosis of EMDs, IEE can be used to detect disorders that can be associated with abnormal esophageal motility.
