- Abstract
Within 5 months after the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome by a rheumatologist, the patient experienced progressive dysphagia and foreign body sensation after deglutition. After treatment and swallowing training, dysphagia symptoms improved, and the 6-month HRIM revealed LES relaxation improvement, median IRP reduction to 10.5 mmHg, and esophageal peristalsis and bolus transit recovery (Figure 1F,G). First, the acute course and favorable treatment response is unusual because most patients with achalasia have chronic course and poor response to therapy.
