Esophageal dysmotility in systemic sclerosis: Relationship with extra-gastrointestinal manifestations and complementary utility of thoracic imaging
Esophageal involvement was frequent in our sample, although the lower esophageal sphincter was more commonly spared. An association between esophageal dysmotility and its dilation on chest high-resolution computed tomography was found, highlighting the utility of chest high-resolution computed tomography for identification of upper gastrointestinal involvement in systemic sclerosis. No association was found between manometric changes and extra-esophageal manifestations.
