Upper and Middle Thoracic Esophageal Dilation in patients with Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the extent of esophageal involvement in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy.
• Utilized chest computed tomography to assess esophageal dilation
• Included patients diagnosed with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy
• Analyzed imaging results to determine dysphagia implications
• Found evidence of esophageal dilation in SBMA patients
• Identified potential links to oral and pharyngeal dysphagia
