Pseudoachalasia consists of an achalasia like presentation and motility pattern, but with a secondary mechanism including malignant and non‐malignant etiologies. We show that pseudoachalasia manifests with incomplete HRM patterns compared to achalasia, in addition to shorter history and greater weight loss. Abstract Background Pseudoachalasia manifests high‐resolution manometry (HRM) findings of achalasia but results from a secondary process. We analyzed clinical and HRM characteristics...
