"Friedreich ataksili" olguda gastroözofageal reflü bulguları ve nedenleri

Friedreich's ataxia is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by neuropathological disabilities such as ataxia, sensory loss, muscle weakness, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A 25-year-old male patient with diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia admitted with dysphagia and reflux symptoms. Further evaluation demonstrated that external compression of the mid esophagus by dilated cardiac chambers was a contributing factor to the reflux development, together with gastric cascade and motility disorder.
