In a longitudinal (long) ultrasound view of the normal gastroesophageal junction, this region appears as a tubular structure that transitions from the esophagus into the stomach just below the diaphragm. The esophageal wall layers can be seen as alternating hyperechoic and hypoechoic bands, representing the mucosal and muscular layers, while the stomach wall shows a similar layered pattern. The gastroesophageal junction should appear smooth and continuous without any thickening, masses, or irregularities. Normal peristaltic movements and occasional fluid passage may be observed, indicating functional integrity.
