Figure 1 Stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium stained with haematoxylin and eosin. A: Focal proliferation of the basal cells (arrow, magnification × 100); B: Plethora of vessels and stasis of erythrocytes in the vessels of lamina propria papillae (arrow), dystrophy of the epithelial cells (arrow, magnification × 400).

Figure 2 High-resolution manometry. A: Lack of peristaltic contractions in the thoracic esophagus (arrow); B: The intraesophageal pressure was increased during the passage of the liquid bolus and 1-2 s later in the distal part of the esophagus was registered the spastic contraction (arrow).

Figure 3 High-resolution manometry (against the background of antithyroid drug therapy) in the thoracic region of the esophagus is noted the normal esophageal peristalsis in response to swallowing of water (arrow).
