Functional luminal imaging probe measurements of EGJ-DI in pediatric patients with achalasia are mostly consistent with adult findings. However, normal EGJ-DI is seen in symptomatic patients, including treatment-naive, highlighting the need for pediatric reference data. Balloon dilations achieve a significant increase in EGJ-DI with improvement in Eckardt scores, confirming the therapeutic value of dilations in achalasia management.
