The article presents a discussion on congenital cricopharyngeal achalasia. Cricopharyngeal achalasia is a well-described condition in adults, with symptoms including dysphagia, expectoration of excess saliva, hoarseness, and regurgitation. In infants, however, cricopharyngeal achalasia is exceedingly rare and potentially life-threatening. Presenting signs include difficulty in feeding, regurgitation, coughing, nasal reflux, and failure to thrive. The article describes a neonate in whom botulinum toxin was used for the temporary resolution of cricopharyngeal achalasia. |
