Possible causes include anatomical and functional etiologies. Further investigations, including computed tomography (CT) of the chest and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), to help elucidate the etiology of EGJOO have been suggested, but the utility of this approach has not been proven.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>All new diagnoses of EGJOO made in the calendar years 2015\u20102016 were included. A review was performed for each patient to assess clinical outcomes, diagnostic, and therapeutic interventions after the EGJOO diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Key Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>107 EGJOO patients were included. Their primary complaints were dysphagia (68%), chest pain (12%), reflux (8%), pre\u2010operative assessment (6%), regurgitation (3%), and cough (3%). The mean IRP was 21.8\u00a0mm\u00a0Hg. After a mean follow\u2010up period of 463\u00a0days, the etiology of EGJOO remained undetermined in 67% of patients. 48% of patients were investigated with cross\u2010sectional imaging (and 10% with EUS to rule out external compression or malignancy as a cause of EGJOO; none of these tests provided any further useful information). In only two cases did the EGJOO progress to achalasia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions &amp; Inferences<\/jats:title><jats:p>EGJOO is a manometric diagnosis with unclear clinical significance and outcome. CT and EUS of the GEJ were unhelpful at determining the cause of this entity. In this series, very few appear to progress to achalasia, none were due to malignancy, and many resolved spontaneously.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nmo.13712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,16]],"date-time":"2019-09-16T06:29:17Z","timestamp":1568615357000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction on manometry: Outcomes and lack of benefit from CT and EUS"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4858-1388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andy","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology &amp;
