Marcia Willi megaesophagus is a generalized enlargement of the esophagus. The muscles which move food through it so it can pass into the stomach are affected, leaving it a bit like a deflated balloon.

George Galea Those who don’t ask questions are the truly ignorant ones. The megaesophagus they are talking about in the video is secondary to a neuromuscular condition called myasthenia gravis. It’s the reason he was struggling with his back legs. This condition also caused the trouble he has eating.
