OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to study the esophageal motility pattern and the frequency of acid reflux in @entity1 diagnosed to have @entity7087 and compare the results to that of normal controls. METHODS: All consecutive @entity1 diagnosed to have @entity7087 between 1417-1419 (Hijra year) at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were included (Group I). History of heartburn, @entity1282 and regurgitation was reviewed. Drugs that might suppress acid or alter motility were discontinued 2 weeks before inclusion. The results were compared to that of 21 symptomatic controls of similar age and sexes that were seen at the same period (Group II). Esophageal manometry and upper @entity344 were performed in all @entity1 . Ambulatory 24 hour-pH monitoring was carried out in 6 @entity1 of group 1 and 20 @entity1 of group II. RESULTS: Thirteen @entity7087 @entity1 (12 females) mean age was 38.7 years and 21 (19 females) mean age was 34.8 years were included. The symptom scores, lower esophageal sphincter pressure, esophageal contractions amplitude were significantly worse in @entity1 compared to control, @entity1282 was mostly due to aperistalsis. All @entity7087 @entity1 showed the typical esophageal manometry pattern of lower esophageal sphincter pressure and diminished amplitude with aperistalsis. @entity354 was detected in 83% of @entity1 with @entity7087 . Moreover, all 24-hour pH monitoring variables were significantly worse in group I. CONCLUSION: @entity1 with @entity7087 usually present with heartburn, @entity1282 and regurgitation. Esophageal manometry typically shows lower pressure and aperistalsis. @entity354 is frequent.
