| Popis: | Three boys with achalasia of the cardia were treated with balloon dilatation, with relief of obstruction and weight gain in all cases. Symptoms recurred in one patient, who then underwent myotomy rather than further dilatation. We recommend dilatation as the primary procedure in childhood achalasia. |
