Abstract
Jackhammer Esophagus (JE) is a rare esophageal motility disorder characterized by hyperdynamic contraction of the distal esophagus. High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry (HREM) remains the diagnostic benchmark. Clinically, JE manifests as dysphagia, chest pain, and symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux [1] often leading to misdiagnosis as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Treatment approaches lack unified guidelines, with notable variability in outcomes. Initial management typically favors medical interventions [2]. This article examines the diagnostic and therapeutic journey of a JE case and provides insights into recent advancements in its diagnosis and management.
