The number and size of Lugol‐voiding areas were reduced by pneumatic dilation in a patient with achalasia and esophageal cancer

JGH Open, 2020
Achalasia is a rare benign esophageal motility disease caused by the impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, which results from nerve damage. Patients with achalasia are known to have a high risk of esophageal cancer.
