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 ...

Achalasia is a chronic esophageal motility disorder characterized by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, determined by an elevated integrated relaxation pressure (IRP > 15 mm Hg) and absent peristalsis.

Eosinophils and mast cells are key effectors of allergy. When they accumulate in the esophagus, their myoactive, pro‐inflammatory, and cytotoxic products potentially could cause achalasia‐like motility abnormalities and neuronal degeneration.

Excerpt Although esophageal disorders have been considered to cause hiccups (1, 2), the poor response of hiccups to anti-reflux surgery has led some investigators to question the role of reflux in ...

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.

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

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.
