Abstract
A 68-year-old woman with a history of hiatus hernia developed aspiration pneumonia after operation for fractured neck of femur. After 8 days, acute respiratory failure was caused by massive retention of air and food in the oesophagus. This was relieved by aspiration, and treated by balloon dilation of the gastric cardia.Entities:
