Presbyesophagus is a term used to describe an abnormal shape of the swallowing tube (esophagus) that occurs in some individuals. In this situation, the esophagus appears wavier than a typically straight esophagus. This change may impact esophageal movement (motility).The term presbyesophagus (presby is Latin for old) was originally used to describe a change in esophagus movement related to aging even though there has been limited evidence that aging by itself causes trouble swallowing.our doctor will likely perform a physical examination and use a variety of tests to determine the cause of your swallowing problem. These tests could include a barium swallow x-ray, an upper endoscopy (EGD), or an esophageal motility test (manometry).
