Acromegaly can be associated with impairment of LES relaxation in the oesophagus.

Introduction: Although prolonged small intestine and colonic transit time has been demonstrated in acromegaly patients, the influence of acromegaly on oesophagus motility and the pathological mechanisms involved are still not clarified. We aimed to investigate manometric measurements to ascertain whether oesophagus motility is affected in active acromegaly patients.

Material And Methods: The study was performed in an institutional referral centre at a tertiary care hospital.
