Abstract
Familial achalasia most often has been recorded in siblings, and only rarely (twice previously) in a parent and offspring. This report concerns a third case of achalasia in a parent and offspring (mother and son). Clinical and radiographic features of the esophageal achalasia are presented. The possibility that genetic factors may play a role in the etiology of this disorder is discussed.Entities:
