Disordered Motor Activity of the Esophagus in Sclerodermic Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux and Duodenogastric Reflux: pH-Manometric Study

  • Conference paper

  • 18 Accesses

Abstract

The term sclerodermia was proposed by Gintrac in 1847 [20], but the first clinical description of the disease is due to a neapolitan physician Carlo Curzio in 1753. Nowadays this term is mostly used to indicate the cutaneous localization of the disease [35]. Cases of generalized disease are usually referred to as systemic sclerosis [39]. According to Matheas [33], the use of the expression progressive systemic sclerosis, (PSS), which has pleased Anglo-Saxon authors so much [24], is not justified, since the disease course is very lengthy in most cases.
