Endoesophageal manometry has enabled considerable progress to be made in the study of oesophageal dysfunction by allowing the spasm to be quantified. Treatment is poorly effective and its results are uncertain, save in the very few cases where surgery leads to resolution. For this reason, the efficacy of a new drug with marked antispastic properties, prifinium bromide, was investigated in 12 cases of megaoesophagus, of hiatal hernia, 6 of diverticulum, and 4 of dyskinesia in the light of the manometric values observed before and after its administration. The drug relieved spasm of the sphincters and corpus.
