The esophagus, ostensibly a simple tubular structure whose
functional role often is minimized and even ignored, is, in re-
ality, a highly complex viscus. The problems associated with
disorders of the esophagus are not only related to the usual en-
tities which may be anticipated in any portion of the gastroin-
testinal tract, but include in a major fashion the functional
mechanisms indigenous to the pharyngoesophageal and eso-
phagogastric junctions. A number of disorders, representative of
the classical cate- gories of disease, affect the esophagus. These
include the various congenital and developmental abnormalities, of
which some are complex. Trauma to the esophagus is not un- common,
and infective and inflammatory lesions of this struc- ture are
encountered relatively frequently. The different types of neoplasms
of the esophagus are relatively few in number, but are commonly
observed-the most serious, from the point of view of survival,
being carcinoma. The collagen disorders, particularly scleroderma
and dermatomyositis, affect the eso- phagus all too often. A
miscellaneous group includes such en- tities as achalasia and
varices, occurring in varying degrees of frequency. Functional
abnormalities of the oropharynx, hypo- pharynx and esophagus,
particularly relating to swallowing and the frequently encountered
instances of spasm of the pharyngoesophageal and the
esophagogastric junctions, consti- tute an important and common
source of difficulty in the pa- tient population at large. In this
regard, anatomic, radiologic, and physiologic studies of these
structures have provided through the years vital data which has
proved of considerable VII ...
