ABSTRACT
A 19-years-old girl was referred for lung transplant due to end stage lung disease secondary to idiopathic bilateral bronchiectasis. Her routine pre lung transplant evaluation showed normal esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) and 24-hours impedance pH monitoring. Four weeks after the bilateral sequential lung transplantation (LTx), she developed dysphagia, chest pain and regurgitation, complicated by aspiration pneumonia. Repeated HRM showed Jackhammer esophagus, delayed gastric emptying and abnormal 24-hour pH impedance monitoring consistent with the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Twelve weeks after LTx, she was symptom free, HRM and 24-hour impedance pH monitoring returned to normal. To the best of our knowledge, this rare transient esophageal hypercontractility episode occurred after LTx and recovered without any specific treatment was never reported in literature. The etiopathogenesis of Jackhammer esophagus in general and LTx induced dysmotility in particular is discussed and reviewed.
