Title: Hypopharyngeal and oesophageal outpouchings and dysmotility. Author: Hüpscher DN. Journal: Radiol Clin (Basel); 1976; 45(2-4):74-87. PubMed ID: 821097. Abstract: Some aspects of the extensive pathology of the hypopharynx and oesophagus are discussed: abnormal outpouchings of the lateral pharyngeal wall; correlation between dysfunction of the pharyngooesophageal junctions and Zenker's diverticulum; correlation between oesophageal dysmotility and the presence of a pulsion diverticulum and intramural diverticulosis. A discussion of the principal causes of oesophageal dysmotility is followed by a detailed account of two manifestations of dysmotility: diffuse oesophageal spasm and diffuse oesophageal hypertrophy.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
