Avaliação do tempo de trânsito esofágico pelo ultrassom: influência do gênero e índice de massa corpórea

Abstract: Objective: To utilize intra-abdominal esophagus ultrasonography to evaluate esophageal transit time for water and yogurt in orthostatic position, and to evaluate the influence of gender and body mass index. Materials and Methods: The present study included 89 young adults [40 women (mean age, 20.13 ± 1.62 years) and 49 men (mean age, 20.43 ± 2.17 years)] who did not show upper gastrointestinal tract disorder. Esophageal transit time was measured with the patient in orthostatic position during water and yogurt … Show more

“…In a report about 13 cases of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum observed at ultrasonography (10) , the communication with the adjacent esophageal wall could be demonstrated in 54% of the patients at the moment of the initial diagnosis. The advantage of ultrasonography is the non-invasiveness and absence of ionizing radiation as compared with other imaging methods, besides the fact that the scan can be performed outside a hospital setting (13) . However, in the present case, videofluoroscopic swallowing study was required for the differential diagnosis with Zenker's diverticulum.…”
