“…VGBD has become a common method for treating a variety of gastrointestinal tract strictures, and it is particularly effective in treating patients with esophageal conditions (8,9,(12)(13)(14). Another modality, retrograde endoscopic balloon dilation, has been recommended as a first-line treatment in some cases; it has been proven safe and reliable for treating complete strictures of the hypopharynx (15).…”

“…Several reports have described the successful treatment of patients with achalasia and esophageal tumors using balloon catheter dilatation (6)(7)(8). Balloon catheter dilatation with catheter insertion into the pharynx or the esophageal inlet is not a preferred, first-line management technique for pharyngeal dysphagia, and there is little or no information available regarding the use of this technique in such patients (9). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether upper esophageal balloon catheter dilatation is an effective method for treating severe pharyngeal dysphagia.…”

“…A few studies have evaluated dysphagia after the use of dilation for cricopharyngeal spasm. 13,14,22,23 One small study of five elderly patients showed resolution of dysphagia at a mean follow-up of 21 months. One patient required redilation.…”

“…A estrutura considerada como responsável principal por esta zona de alta pressão é o músculo cricofaríngeo. Admite-se que o músculo cricofaríngeo, contraído durante o repouso, relaxa-se quando da deglutição para permitir a passagem do bolo em trânsito da faringe para o esôfago (10,11,13,15,16,17,29,30,33) . O conceito de ser o cricofaríngeo o músculo responsável por esta zona de alta pressão sustenta também o conceito de acalásia do cricofaríngeo (acálasia do EES -esfíncter esofágico superior) (21,28) , que se define como distúrbio de motilidade em que o EES deixa de relaxar-se durante a deglutição, manifestando disfagia intermitente (26,31) .…”

“…Admite-se que, nestes pacientes, a disfunção do cricofaríngeo seja um dos mais freqüentes achados (13) . A disfunção primária do músculo cricofaríngeo, algumas vezes também rotulada como acalásia, é admitida como uma desordem funcional rara que se define por impedir o relaxamento do cricofaríngeo, determinando disfagia e aspiração (28,29) . A miotomia, a injeção de toxina botulínica e a dilatação pneumá-tica do músculo cricofaríngeo têm sido propostas como alternativas terapêuticas que visam contribuir, permeando a obstrução causada pela não abertura da TFE.…”
