Key Words	Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction; High-resolution manometry
Core Tip	Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a manometric diagnosis and is considered a major motility disorder. In this condition, it is important to rule out treatable causes of mechanical obstruction at the gastro-esophageal junction. In functional EGJOO, there is no obvious mechanical or structural cause of obstruction. In this condition, presenting symptoms like dysphagia and manometry metrics like IRP and distal contractile integral are associated with persistence of symptoms upon follow up. These patients may benefit from early intervention to disrupt the functional obstruction at the lower esophageal sphincter, using treatment modalities similar to achalasia.
