The Korean Journal of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research, 2022 Achalasia is characterized by peristaltic failure and incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. The incidence and prevalence of achalasia increase with age, although achalasia can affect all age groups.

Response Rate to Treatment of Achalasia Patients With Thyroid Disorders Versus Euthyroid Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Iran [PDF]
JGH OpenBackground Achalasia, characterized by impaired esophageal motility, presents a challenge in diagnosis and management. Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between achalasia and thyroid disorders (TD).

The Lancet, 2014 Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the oesophagus characterised by loss of enteric neurons leading to absence of peristalsis and impaired relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter. Although its cause remains largely unknown, ganglionitis resulting from an aberrant immune response triggered by a viral infection has been proposed to underlie ...
