Esophageal dysmotility in scleroderma patients with different disease forms and ANA patterns: a scintigraphic study in 100 cases

Abstract: La sclerosi sistemica (SSc) è una connettivite caratterizzata dall'elevata prevalenza di impegni viscerali. Tra essi uno dei più comuni è quello a carico dell'esofago, la cui frequenza è stata descritta come vicina a quella dell'interstiziopatia polmonare e superiore a quelle degli impegni cardiaco e renale (1, 2). Il danno anatomo-patologico provocato dalla SSc è simile in tutte le porzioni del tubo digerente: il bersaglio principale delle lesioni istologiche è rappresentato dalla tonaca muscolare, soprattutt… Show more

“…Mild heartburn (acid reflux) is the more common symptom in the early stages, and severe dysphagia (peristalsis) occurs in the later stages. The physiological development is speculated as follows: esophageal motility disorders first occur with esophageal reflux, which in turn leads to esophageal peristalsis damage [26]. For traditional gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophageal acid reflux is due to anatomical abnormalities or physiological defects related to the peristalsis of the border between the stomach and esophagus [27].…”
