Why is Esophageal Manometry Important in Neonates?

Neonates, especially those that are premature or have congenital conditions, often struggle with feeding and digestion. Esophageal manometry can help diagnose conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), achalasia, and other motility disorders. Identifying these issues early allows for timely intervention, which is crucial in preventing complications such as aspiration pneumonia and poor weight gain.
