Popis: Achalasia is a functional disorder of the distal esophagus, which fails to relax during swallowing. Although being rare, this disorder is the source of a significant morbidity, including developmental disorders in children. Several therapeutical options are available: myorelaxants administration, esophageal dilations and surgery--distal esophageal myomectomy followed by an antireflux procedure. The paper introduces our experience in treating a number of 5 children between 1991 and 1998.
