To study the effect of sclerotherapy of varices on esophageal function, the motility of the tubular esophagus and L5S was recorded in 12 cirrhotic patients. The following results were obtained: abnormal wave patterns in the lower esophagus were frequently present after sclerotherapy; no impact on L5I pressure and function was found; the motility changes induced by the treatment have a tendency to decrease as time goes by except for the amplitude of the wave whose decrease persist long.

D015154 Esophageal Motility Disorders Disorders affecting the motor function of the UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; the ESOPHAGUS body, or a combination of these parts. The failure of the sphincters to maintain a tonic pressure may result in gastric reflux of food and acid into the esophagus (GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX). Other disorders include hypermotility (spastic disorders) and markedly increased amplitude in contraction (nutcracker esophagus).
