Achalasia is the best understood and most readily treatable esophageal motility disorder. It serves as a prototype for disorders of the enteric nervous system with degeneration of the myenteric neurons that innervate the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and esophageal body.

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2013
Endoscopic therapy for achalasia is centered on disrupting or weakening the lower esophageal sphincter. The three traditional treatment options for achalasia are surgical myotomy, pneumatic dilation, and botulinum toxin injection. Pneumatic dilation yields results that are generally better than botulinum toxin injection and may approach a clinical ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2005
Surgical therapy (Heller myotomy) is the most effective treatment to relieve dysphagia associated with achalasia. The advent of minimally invasive techniques, specifically the laparoscopic approach, significantly reduced the morbidity of surgical therapy, making it the procedure of choice for most patients who have achalasia.

This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of achalasia, a rare esophageal motility disorder characterized by absent peristalsis and failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax. Various treatment options including management with sublingual nitrates or calcium channel blockers, injection of the LES with botulism toxin, pneumatic ...

Achalasia cardia is an uncommon condition in children. It needs special consideration as it is associated with a higher incidence of recurrent respiratory infection and failure of growth and development, thereby requiring an early surgical intervention. Four such cases who were successfully managed surgically are described.

Achalasia is a rare motor disorder of the oesophagus, characterised by the absence of peristalsis and impaired swallow-induced relaxation. These motor abnormalities result in stasis of ingested food in the oesophagus, leading to clinical symptoms, such as dysphagia, regurgitation of food, retrosternal pain and weight loss.
