Abstract
The clinical case of a 14-month-old girl with esophageal achalasia is described. Manometry revealed aperistalsis throughout the esophageal body and impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Six months after Heller's myotomy, manometric examination of the esophagus showed the return of peristalsis.Entities:
