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 ...

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1989
Achalasia is a chronic illness that can be treated effectively in 65 to 90 per cent of patients with either pneumatic dilatation or Heller esophagomyotomy. Prior to institution of therapy, clinicians must rule out secondary achalasia, especially malignancy-associated achalasia, with upper endoscopy, and if the clinical history is worrisome for ...

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2001
The optimal treatment of achalasia includes several options and presents a challenge for most gastroenterologists. There are numerous patient variables that must be assessed including age, degree of symptoms, duration of disease, desires of each patient, and related comorbidities.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2000
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.

Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2007
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.

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2017
Achalasia is a rare neurogenic motility disorder of the esophagus, occurring in approximately 0.11 cases per 100,000 children. The combination of problems (aperistalsis, hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter (LES), and lack of receptive LES relaxation) results in patients having symptoms of progressive dysphagia, weight loss, and regurgitation ...

Pediatric Radiology, 1984
Achalasia in infancy is rare. A male infant who started to have symptoms at the age of 4 months, and who was operated at the age of 17 months is described. Post operatively the symptoms subsided and normal growth and development were regained. Achalasia should be included in the differential diagnosis of children with regurgitation, vomiting and ...

Achalasia is a rare neurologic deficit of the esophagus, producing a syndrome of impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and decreased motility of the esophageal body for which the cause is unknown. The resultant chronic esophageal stasis produces discomforting symptoms that can be managed with medication, chemical paralysis of the lower ...
