What is difference among type 1,2 & 3 achalasia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Manometry definition: these are definitions to characterize achalasia (a disorder of esophagus where contraction wave is absent and the lower sphincter does not relax): Type1 has minimal contractions, Type2 intermittent contractions, Type3 spastic contractions. Success rates of treatment differ as replied in prior question. I'm happy to consult as I would highly recommend followup at major specialized expert center
