Erroneously Recorded Esophageal Retrograde Peristalsis due to a Manometric Catheter Inadvertently Hooked in the Esophagus

Abstract

|
|
Esophageal retrograde peristalsis is known to be absent normally. This rare finding, if it happens, usually suggests a possibility that proximal ends of the manometric catheter are connected to the pressure transducers in a reverse order. We report a case showing repeated retrograde peristalsis during an esophageal manometric examination due to an inadventently hooked catheter in the esophagus during insertion. We suggest that if a retrograde peristalsis is repeatedly observed during a manometric session, an erroneous recording due to a hooked catheter in the esophageal lumen should be considered as one possibility.
