Achalasia Cardia in a Young Infant.
Indian Journal of Pediatrics 2018 August
Achalasia cardia is an esophageal motility disorder rarely reported in children and more so in young infants. Common clinical presentations include vomiting, dysphagia, regurgitation, recurrent pulmonary aspiration and failure to thrive. Diagnosis is made by barium swallow study and esophageal manometry, which is the gold standard test. Pharmocological management and endotherapy often fails and results in recurrence of symptoms. Laparoscopic Hellers myotomy, with or without anti-reflux procedure is the standard treatment of choice for children. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy is utilized for treatment of achalasia in adults, but its safety, efficacy, and feasibility is not studied in children.
