Abstract
Esophageal motility was studied in 31 patients with mild to moderate esophagitis and in 48 patients without esophagitis to determine the effect of esophageal inflammation on lower esophageal sphincter pressure, and the amplitude, duration, and velocity of esophageal contractions. There were no significant differences in any of these parameters associated with esophageal inflammation. We conclude that mild to moderate esophagitis does not cause serious esophageal dysfunction in children.
