| dc.description.abstract | Background: Achalasia is extremely rare in infants. Case characteristics: We report three infants of age 9, 7 and 12 months, who presented with recurrent non-bilious vomiting, repeated chest infection and severe failure to thrive. Diagnosis of achalasia cardia was confirmed on contrast-swallow study. Heller’s cardiomyotomy with fundoplication led to complete symptomatic relief, and weight-gain on follow-up. Message: Achalasia cardia is often misdiagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease which leads to significant delay in diagnosis and increased morbidity. | en_US |
