Esophageal Disorders. A Clinical Casebook

This clinical casebook provides a comprehensive yet concise state-of-the art review of esophageal disorders. Presented in an easy-to-read, case-based format, each case focuses on a clinical scenario commonly encountered in practice, including history, diagnostic tests and detailed discussion, enhanced by many endoscopic photos, x-rays, CT scans, ultrasound and motility tests. More than 30 case scenarios include the evaluation, diagnosis and management of achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, ineffective esophageal motility, esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction, absent contractility, gastroesophageal reflux disease, eosinophilic esophagitis and others. 

 

Utilizing highly illustrative case material, Esophageal Disorders: A Clinical Casebook is a valuable resource for practicing gastroenterologsts, surgeons, primary care physicians, trainees (fellows and residents), medical students and other health care personnel.
