| Adidoc2k1 Total Posts: 60 | Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 06:37 am can anybody please confirm that 24 hr manometry was there in the option or not,i think it wasn't there,i too marked Ba,rather this option was "tertiary contractions seen on Ba. swallow." such dreadful line i'd never heard but cudn't stop my free pen to get used some more. |
| shounie Total Posts: 4 | Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 08:02 am Guys please do not confuse between 24 hourPH monitoring and manometry...if you open SCHWARTZ'S it clearly gives the diagnostic criteria for different esophageal motor disorders.... |

| sridhar Total Posts: 30 | Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 01:31 pm hi guys ... manometry findings will be similar in both conditions (diffuse oesophageal spasm & achalasia cardia).. therefore contrast study will be more appropriate.. any way the other two choices c. manometry d. ? |
