Esophageal Achalasia
|
D004931 |
[A motility disorder of the ESOPHAGUS in which the LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER (near the CARDIA) fails to relax resulting in functional obstruction of the esophagus, and DYSPHAGIA. Achalasia is characterized by a grossly contorted and dilated esophagus (megaesophagus).

|
Esophageal Atresia
|
D004933 |
[Congenital abnormality characterized by the lack of full development of the ESOPHAGUS that commonly occurs with TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FISTULA. Symptoms include excessive SALIVATION; GAGGING; CYANOSIS; and DYSPNEA.
] |
|
Esophageal Cyst
|
D004934 |
[Any fluid-filled closed cavity or sac (CYSTS) that is lined by an EPITHELIUM and found in the ESOPHAGUS region.

Esophageal Diseases
|
D004935 |
[Pathological processes in the ESOPHAGUS.
] |
|
Esophageal Fistula
|
D004937 |
[Abnormal passage communicating with the ESOPHAGUS. The most common type is TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FISTULA between the esophagus and the TRACHEA.
] |
|
Esophageal Motility Disorders
|
D015154 |
[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).

|
Esophageal Mucosa
|
D000071041 |
[Circular innermost layer of the ESOPHAGUS wall that mediates esophageal PERISTALSIS which pushes ingested food bolus toward the stomach.
] |
|
Esophageal Neoplasms
|
D004938 |
[Tumors or cancer of the ESOPHAGUS.
] |
|
Esophageal Perforation
|
D004939 |
[An opening or hole in the ESOPHAGUS that is caused by TRAUMA, injury, or pathological process.
] |
|
Esophageal Spasm, Diffuse
|
D015155 |
[A hypermotility disorder of the ESOPHAGUS that is characterized by spastic non-peristaltic responses to SWALLOWING; CHEST PAIN; and DYSPHAGIA.
] |
|
Esophageal Sphincter, Lower
|
D049630 |
[The physiologic or functional barrier to GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX at the esophagogastric junction. Sphincteric muscles remain tonically contracted during the resting state and form the high-pressure zone separating the lumen of the ESOPHAGUS from that of the STOMACH. (Haubrich et al, Bockus Gastroenterology, 5th ed., pp399, 415)
] |
|
Esophageal Sphincter, Upper
|
D049631 |
[The structure at the pharyngoesophageal junction consisting chiefly of the cricopharyngeus muscle. It normally occludes the lumen of the ESOPHAGUS, except during SWALLOWING.
] |
|
Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
|
D000077277 |
[A carcinoma that originates usually from cells on the surface of the middle and lower third of the ESOPHAGUS. Tumor cells exhibit typical squamous morphology and form large polypoid lesions. Mutations in RNF6, LZTS1, TGFBR2, DEC1, and WWOX1 genes are associated with this cancer.
] |
|
Esophageal Stenosis
|
D004940 |
[A stricture of the ESOPHAGUS. Most are acquired but can be congenital.
] |
|
Esophageal and Gastric Varices
|
D004932 |
[Dilated blood vessels in the ESOPHAGUS or GASTRIC FUNDUS that shunt blood from the portal circulation (PORTAL SYSTEM) to the systemic venous circulation. Often they are observed in individuals with portal hypertension (HYPERTENSION, PORTAL).
] |
|
Esophageal pH Monitoring
|
D050782 |
[Analysis of the HYDROGEN ION CONCENTRATION in the lumen of the ESOPHAGUS. It is used to record the pattern, frequency, and duration of GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX.
