GI101: Other Esophageal Motility Disorders | A Clinical Medicine Brief
Description
In this episode of GI101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, reviews Neurogenic Dysphagia, Scleroderma Esophagus, and Peptic Esophageal Strictures—three important motility-related conditions that impact swallowing and esophageal function. You’ll learn how neurogenic causes disrupt coordinated swallowing, how systemic sclerosis leads to smooth muscle atrophy and reflux complications, and how chronic acid exposure from GERD contributes to peptic stricture formation. We’ll also cover hallmark presentations, diagnostic tools like manometry and endoscopy, and management strategies tailored to each condition.
