Particular symptom patterns can be produced by different esophageal motor disorders or other disease. Usually, referral for manometry is for evaluation of symptoms rather than the evaluation of a single diagnostic possibility. However, it is easier to discuss the diagnostic value of manometry by disease state.

Disorders of pharyngeal motor function may involve pharynx or upper esophageal sphincter. Pharyngeal motility is most effectively assessed radiologically, and manometry is most useful to clarify upper esophageal sphincter function.

Cricopharyngeal bars are characterized radiologically by a prominent indentation on lateral views of the pharynx. They are commonly attributed to spasm or failed relaxation of the cricopharyngeus and thus described as "cricopharyngeal achalasia." However, careful manometric evalu...
