Abstract
A 66-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a long history of solid food dysphagia. Gastroscopy revealed that esophagus was distorted and slightly narrow in the middle section. High-resolution esophageal manometry testing was used to assess the esophageal motor function. We tried to insert the manometric catheter into the patient's stomach, but found that when the patient swallowed, the picture presented an up-down symmetry phenomenon, and the esophageal peristalsis lost its normal slope. Therefore, we believed that the manometer catheter folded back cephalad at her upper esophagus, demonstrating a strange appearance of a curly manometry catheter. Subsequently, a barium esophagram was performed and revealed that there was a stenosis in the middle of the esophagus, and the narrowest of which was about 2cm in diameter. We reviewed the computed tomography and found the aortic arch of the patient was compressing on her esophagus, causing local lumen stenosis.
