Megaoesophagus in Rassf1a-null mice.

International journal of experimental pathology - 1 Apr 2009

van der Weyden Louise, Happerfield Lisa, Arends Mark J, Adams David J

Abstract excerpt

Megaoesophagus, or oesophageal achalasia, is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by an absence of peristalsis and flaccid dilatation of the oesophagus, resulting in the retention of ingesta in the dilated segment. The aetiology and pathogenesis of idiopathic (or primary) megaoesophagus are sti...
