Implication

Retrospective cohort study shows high-resolution esophageal manometry identifies esophageal pathologies in oropharyngeal dysphagia, indicating its diagnostic value.

Key Points

  • HREM identified esophageal pathologies in 58.6% of patients with symptoms of oropharyngeal dysphagia.
  • Among 29 patients, mean residual upper esophageal sphincter pressure was -0.5 mmHg and median lower esophageal sphincter pressure was 13.9 mmHg.
  • Statistical tests showed no significant symptom-specific differences in esophageal motility disorders.
  • Integrating HREM into the evaluation process highlights its importance in diagnosing oropharyngeal dysphagia.
