Achalasia is a disorder of esophageal motility characterized by esophageal aperistalsis and failure of the lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. The disease is progressive, resulting in gradual dilatation of the esophagus above the sphincter. Successful treatment of the disease by repeated esophageal bougienage was first described by Willis in 1674 ...

Achalasia is a motor disorder of the esophageal smooth muscle in which the lower esophageal sphincter does not relax normally with swallowing, and the esophageal body undergoes nonperistaltic contractions. The underlying abnormality is the loss of intramural neurons. Achalasia affects men and women of all ages.

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 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 ...

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2005
Achalasia is a primary motility disorder of the esophagus that causes dysphagia. Normal esophageal motility and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function can not be restored; thus treatment is directed at decreasing the pressure or disrupting the muscle fibers of the LES to allow passage of ingested material.

Summary. Forty‐one women with achalasia diagnosed between the ages of 18 and 45 years were interviewed and 37 of them who had been married at some time were asked to provide details of their fertility and reproductive histories. Thirty‐six agreed to do so and were compared with 36 healthy age‐matched women. The mean age at the time of study was 44 and

Postgraduate Medicine, 1993
Achalasia is a primary esophageal motor disorder that is characterized by dysphagia, regurgitation, and chest pain. The diagnosis is suggested by narrowing with the classic "bird's beak" appearance of the distal esophagus. Esophageal manometry showing aperistalsis confirms the diagnosis. Pseudo-achalasia must be excluded with endoscopy.

In 1913 Heller reported the first esophageal myotomy for achalasia through a left thoracotomy. Over the years, the transabdominal approach has been extensively adopted, especially in Europe. More recently, laparoscopy has emerged as the initial intervention of choice in several institutions throughout the world.
