Background Upper gastrointestinal symptoms in children are common and motility disorders are considered in the differential diagnosis. High resolution esophageal manometry ( HRM ) has revolutionized the study of esophageal physiology, and the addition of impedance has provided new insights into esophageal function. Antroduodenal motility has provided insight into gastric and small bowel function. Purpose This review highlights some of the recent advances in pediatric esophageal and antroduodenal motility testing including indications, preparation, performance, and interpretation of the tests. This update is the second part of a two part series on manometry studies in children (first part was on anorectal and colonic manometry [ Neurogastroenterol Motil . 2016; 29 :e12944]), and has been endorsed by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition ( NASPGHAN ) and the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society ( ANMS ).
