Oesophageal Dilations: Whole oesophagus dilated
Scleroderma (“Clear all dilated”)
Oesophageal Dilations: Beak sign/tapered
Achalasia (Compare pseudoachalasia in GEJ malignancy where the ‘beak’ doesn’t relax)
Oesophageal Dilations: Beak sign/tapered with mass
GEJ malignancy (pseudoachalasia where the ‘beak’ doesn’t relax)
