Acute Respiratory Failure From Massive Esophageal Dilatation due to Achalasia

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Massive esophageal dilatation secondary to achalasia resulting in acute hypoxic respiratory failure from cardiopulmonary mass effect. ABSTRACT Massive esophageal dilation from achalasia can cause acute respiratory failure via lung compression. Prompt recognition and urgent esophageal decompression can rapidly reverse hypoxia and be lifesaving.
