Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: Özofagusun etiyolojisi bilinmeyen primer motor bozukluğu olan akalazya, kesin tanısı motilite çalışmaları yapılarak konulan bir hastalıktır. Özofagogastrik bileşkede bulunan, maligniteye ya da geçirilmiş cerrahiye sekonder gelişen obstrüksiyon, hem klinik olarak, hem de manometrik ölçüm sonuçlarıyla akalazyayı taklit edebilir. Çok sık rastlanan bir durum olmayan akalazyanın, ülkemizdeki epidemiyolojik özelliklerine ilişkin veriler son derece sınırlıdır. Güncel çalışmada, kliniğimizde takip edilen akalazyalı hastaların, epidemiyolojik özelliklerinin ve manometrik bulgularının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ekim 2017-Kasım 2019 tarihleri arasında, üniversitemiz gastroenteroloji bilim dalı motilite polikliniğinde tetkik edilen ve yüksek çözünürlüklü manometri sonuçlarına göre akalazya tanısı koyulan hastaların bilgi kartları, retrospektif olarak incelendi.
Bulgular: Akalazya ön tanısıyla yüksek çözünürlüklü manometri yapılan 8 hastanın pseudoakalazya, 2 hastanın sekonder akalazya olduğu görüldü. Akalazya tanısı konulan 77 hastanın (43 erkek), yaş ortalaması 49.9917.68 (23-76) idi. Hastaların dörtte birinin 36 yaşından küçük, dörtte birinin 63.5 yaşından büyük olduğu görüldü. Hafifçe erkek baskın gibi görünen hasta grubunda, semptom başlangıcından tanı konuluncaya kadar geçen sürenin ortalama 4.434.05 (1-20) yıl olduğu görüldü. Chicago Class 3.0 kriterlerine göre hastaların 35 tanesi (%45.5) Tip 1; 39 tanesi (%50.6) Tip 2; üç tanesi (%3.9) ise Tip 3 akalazya tanısı almıştı. Özofagogastrik bileşke gevşemesinin değerlendirilmesi için kullanılan entegre gevşeme basıncı ortalama 22.8111.44 mm Hg ve alt özofagus istirahat basıncı ise ortalama 31.9618.74 mm Hg idi. Tip 2 hastalarda entegre gevşeme basıncı ve ortalama alt özofagus istirahat basıncı Tip 1 hastalara göre, istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olarak daha yüksek idi (sırasıyla, p<0.001 ve p<0.001).
Sonuç: Akalazya hastalığının tanısı, günümüz teknolojisi ve bilgi birikimiyle sorun olmaktan çıkmış gibi gözükmektedir. Tanı ve tedavisi noktasında en büyük sorun, hastaların motilite çalışmalarına erişimine engel olan çeşitli bariyerlerdir. Tanı öncesi semptom süresinin uzun olmasında, özofagus motilite testlerinin gecikmeli olarak yapılması rol oynuyor olabilir. Bunu önlemek adına, disfajisi olan hastalar, özofagogastroskopik incelemeleri normal bulunsa bile, muhakkak motilite testi yapılması için yönlendirilmelidir.

Abstract

Background and Aims: Achalasia, which is a primary motor disorder with unknown etiology, is diagnosed using motility studies. Obstruction of the esophagogastric junction secondary to malignancy or previous surgery may mimic achalasia, both clinically and manometrically. Data related to the epidemiological characteristics of achalasia are minimal. This study investigated the epidemiological features and manometric findings of patients with achalasia who were followed up in our clinic.
Material and Methods: Data of patients diagnosed with achalasia by using high resolution manometry between October 2017 and November 2019 were evaluated retrospectively.
Results: Eight patients had pseudoachalasia, and two patients had secondary achalasia. The mean age of the 77 patients (43 male) diagnosed as true achalasia was 49.9917.68 years (23–76 years). One-fourth of the patients were younger than 36 years, and one-fourth were older than 63.5 years. The mean time from onset of symptom to diagnosis was 4.434.05 years (1–20 years) in the slightly male predominant patient group. According to Chicago Class 3.0 criteria, patients were diagnosed as Type 1, 2, and 3 achalasia in 35 (45.5%), 39 (50.6%), and 3 (3.9%) study patients, respectively. The mean relaxation pressure used for the evaluation of esophagogastric junction relaxation was 22.8111.44 mmHg, and the mean lower esophageal resting pressure was 31.9618.74 mmHg. The mean relaxation pressure and mean lower esophageal resting pressure were significantly higher in Type 2 patients than Type 1 patients (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively).
Discussion: The current technology facilitates the easy diagnosis of achalasia. However, the major problem in diagnosis and treatment is the various barriers that prevent patients from accessing motility studies. Delayed esophageal motility tests may cause prolonged pre-diagnosis symptoms. Patients with dysphagia should be referred for an esophageal motility test, even if their esophagogastroscopic examination is normal.
