    Abstract

    We review the current clinical evaluation and management of the most common esophageal and gastrointestinal motility disorders in children based on the literature and our experience in a pediatric motility center in the United States. The disorders discussed include esophageal achalasia, pre- and post-fundoplication motility disorders, gastroparesis, motility disorders occurring after repair of congenital atresias, motility disorders associated with gastroschisis, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, motility after intestinal transplantation, motility disorders after colonic resection for Hirschsprung's disease, chronic functional constipation, and motility disorders associated with imperforate anus.
