Achalasia and sudden death: a case report.

G Fassina1, A Osculati.   

Abstract

A 23-year-old pregnant woman was found dead at home. The anamnesis was completely negative, except for a slight dysphagia. The most important autopsy finding was a remarkable previously undiagnosed, megaesophagus. Conjunctival and pleural petechiae were also observed. The most likely etiopathogenetic factors are considered and discussed.
