Abstract

Nineteen patients with progressive systemic sclerosis were underwent radioisotope esophageal transit study (RIETS) which revealed abnormal transit time and/or pattern in 16 (84.2%). Among them 12 showed to and fro movement of RI and 4 showed retention of it. Abnormal esophageal transit was not related with Raynaud phenomenon. After intravenous administration of metoclopramide (10 mg), percent retention of RI in distal 2/3 of esophagus was significantly reduced (p<0.05).
