Irradiation-induced motor disorder of the oesophagus. 1982

J A Thorpe, and C Oakland, and I P Adams, and H R Matthews

This case report describes the late development of an achalasia-like disturbance of oesophageal motility following irradiation to the neck for a pharyngeal lymphosarcoma. The radiological, manometric and endoscopic findings are recorded as well as laboratory investigations showing evidence of complete vagal denervation.

D008228 Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.
