Achalasia cardia: An uncommon cause of aspiration syndrome in infancy

Abstract

Achalasia is a primary oesophageal motility disorder characterized by the absence of Oesophageal peristalsis and impaired lower  oesophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation in response to swallowing leading to functional obstruction at the gastroesophageal CC –BY 4.0 junction. It is unusual in childhood and extremely rare in infants. We report a case of Achalasia cardia in a twomonth bold infant treated with anterior oesophago-cardio- gastromyo to my ( Modified Heller’s procedure).
