A

Circumferential, thick protrusion into the lower esophagus lumen

25
Q

What do Schatzki rings consist of?

A

mucosa, submucosa and LP

26
Q

Occur in the distal esophagus above the GE junction

A

A rings

27
Q

What type of rings are these:

Occur at the GE junction

A

Zenker-above upper esophagus sphincter
Traction- middle esophagus
Epiphrenic- above lower esophagus sphincter

30
Q

What is this:

narrowing of the lumen due to fibrous thickening of the submucosa and atrophy of the muscularis propria

A

Stenosis

31
Q

What is stenosis caused by

A

inflammation and scarring from
GER
Irradiation

32
Q

In stenosis, (blank) is progressive, first for solids then liquids

A

dysphagia

increased tone of the LES as a result of impaired SM relaxation

A

Achalasia

34
Q

Alchalasia is characterized by…?

A

incomplete LES relaxation
increased LES tone
aperistalsis of the esophagus

36
Q

In secondary achalasia, you often see it in (Blank) disease

A

Chagas disease (trypanosoma cruzi)
