Abstract

Esophageal body and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) motor abnormalities are well characterized by the Chicago Classification version 3.0, which identifies disorders under the broad categories of EGJ outflow obstruction, major motor disorders not encountered in health, and minor motor disorders that can be associated with bolus transit abnormalities. However, abnormalities of the esophageal body peristaltic wave (contraction wave abnormalities), breaks in peristaltic integrity, and morphologic and motor EGJ abnormalities can be encountered when esophageal motor function is designated normal under the Chicago Classification. Other nonspecific motor abnormalities can be encountered in supragastric belching and rumination. This chapter elaborates these nonspecific disorders of esophageal and EGJ motor function, and describes potential relationships to symptoms.
