Abstract
BACKGROUND Motor abnormalities of pharyngeal contraction or upper esophageal sphincter (UES) relaxation can lead to swallowing problems. METHODS We reviewed high-resolution esophageal manometry of children ≤18 years and classified into two groups based on the results of videofluoroscopic study of swallow (VFSS), as normal or abnormal. The UES metrics (integrated relaxation pressure [IRP], resting pressure [URP], and nadir pressure [UNP]), as...
