Supersensitivity to pentagastrin in diffuse oesophageal spasm.

A 38-year-old patient, complaining of dysphagia and substernal pain of nine months' duration, was found by manometric studies to have diffuse oesophageal spasm. As has similarly been reported for cholinergic agents in achalasia and in some cases of diffuse oesophageal spasm the oesophageal body responded in a hypersensitive fashion to subcutaneous and intravenous injections of pentagastrin. This effect was inhibited by the intravenous administration of atropine and completely abolished by nitroglycerine. When pentagastrin was subcutaneously injected before a barium examination a distortion of the oesophageal contour, described as curling or corkscrew oesophagus, regularly appeared.

In this preliminary report the results obtained with this method in three patients are presented. Existing literature mentions a rate of 80% successful results in selected cases submitted to this treatment.
