Achalasia cardia in a premature infant.

Naveen Shettihalli1, Vikranth Venugopalan, Nicholas Kevin Ives, Kokila Lakhoo.   

Abstract

Achalasia cardia is defined as a neuromuscular disorder of the oesophagus with abnormal motility and failure of relaxation of the distal oesophagus. It is an uncommon but well-recognised entity in infants and children. However, achalasia in a preterm baby has not been previously described. We report the condition in a premature infant with unusual presentation, treated successfully with Heller's oesophagomyotomy and fundoplication.
