Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) is the most common esophageal disorder in children. Achalasia occurs less commonly but has similar symptoms to GERD. A nine-year old boy presented with vomiting, heartburn, and nocturnal cough. The esophageal impedance-pH monitor revealed nonacidic GERD (all-refluxate clearance percent time of 20.9%). His symptoms persisted despite medical treatment for GERD, and he was lost to follow up. Four years later, he presented with heartburn, solid-food dysphagia, daily post-prandial vomiting, and failure to thrive. Endoscopy showed a severely dilated esophagus with candidiasis. High-resolution manometry was performed, and he was diagnosed with classic achalasia (also known as type I). His symptoms resolved after two pneumatic dilatation procedures, and his weight and height began to catch up to his peers. Clinicians might consider using high-resolution manometry in children with atypical GERD even after evaluation with an impedance-pH monitor.

Achalasia is a neurogenic esophageal disorder, characterized by incomplete relaxation of the gastroesophageal sphincter in response to deglutition and absence of peristalsis from the body of the esophaugs. Because there is no known method by which esophageal peristalsis can be restored, therapy is directed toward the relief of dital esophageal obstruction. During the period of June 1965 to September 1980, 13 cases of achalasia were operated at the Department of Thoracic SUrgery, Seoul Natonal University Hospital. 1. Among 13 cases, 5 were male and 8 were female. 2. Esophagomyotomy was performed in 12 cases, and 1 case was treated with transverse suture of lower esophagus after longitudinal incision. 3. There was no operative mortality, but 2 cases subsequently underwent esophagogastrostomy after esophagomyotomy. 4. One of 13 cases was combined with mongolism.

A 4-month-old, intact male, Tosa with a history of a regurgitation, vomiting, and weight loss for three weeks was presented to Animal Medical Center, Chonbuk National University. In Serial plain radiographs, a severely distended stomach was seen and ultrasonogram revealed a nonfunctional pylorus with normal layer comparable with an obstruction of pyloric region by pyloric achalasia. An esophagram and endoscopy revealed normal peristalsis with failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to open, supporting the diagnosis of esophageal achalasia. Megaesophagus was observed on reradiograph and esophagram 11 days later. The clinical signs and esophageal dilation were resolved without resorting to any treatment.

Achalasia is a functional disorder of a short segment of the lower esophagus showing obstruction of the esophagogastric junction. Dysphagia. regurgitation and weight loss are outstanding features,however, complicated pulmonary troubles aspiration pneumonitis, bronchiectasis, lung abscess etc. --are sometimes more apparent than the disease entity in children though achalasia is rarely encountered in children. During the period of January, 1961, to May, 1968, the authors experienced 9 cases of achalasia of the esophagus in Chest Surgery Department,N.M.C. 1. Seven of nine were male and four were under 5 years of age. 2. So-called symptoms triad noted in almost every case, and 3 of 4 children showed recurrent attacks of pneumonitis. 3. Chest film showed widened superior mediastinum by dilated esophagus in 6 cases, and pulmonary infiltrations in 3 cases of children. 4. Preoperative diagnosis were achalasia,esophageal stricture by rodent-cidal ingestion and suggestive esophageal cancer in 7 cases,one case and remaining one case. respectively. 5. Modified Heller procedure was performed in all cases with definite diagnosis of achalasia at operation table in misdiagnosed 2 cases. 6. Immediate postoperative complications were 2 cases of wound infection and one case of atelectasis and no operative mortality encountered. 7. Seven of nine showed excellent result of operation, and good in one case. Remaining one case failed relieving obstruction and underwent interposition of ileocolonic segment with excellent result.

특발성 윤상인두근 무이완증은 드물게 발생하는 식도 연하장애이다. 이는 연하작용시 윤상인두근의 이완불능으로 인해 발생하며 식도조영검사상 돌출된 윤상인두근간의 특징적 소견을 보인다. 치료는 윤상인두근 절개술이 가장 효과적이다. 본 순천향대학교 천안병원 흉부외과에서는 상부식도괄약근 무이완증의 61세 여자 환자에게 국소마취 하에서 윤상인두근 절개술을 시행하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

식도무이완증은 식도의 연동운동과 식도하 1/3의 이완장애로 인한 연하곤란이 특징인 질환이며, 그 원인은 확실하지 않으나 말초미주신경이나 미주신경의 dorsal motor nucleus에 원발병소가 있다고 주장된다. 저자는 최근 본원에서 식도 X-선검사, 식도경검사에서 식도무이완증으로 진단 받은 23세의 여자에서 mercury dilation으로 만족할만한 결과를 얻었기에 문헌적 고찰과 아울러 보고하는 바이다.

식도이완불능증 환자의 수술은 내시경을 이용한 최소 절개술로써 개복술에 상응하는 성적을 거두고 있다. 최근에는 복강경을 이용한 식도근절개술과 위저부성형술을 통해 기존에 시행되던 흉강경을 사용한 식도근 절개술보다 환자의 만족도에서 좋은 결과를 보이는 경우가 보고된 바 있다. 이 증례에서는 풍선확장술로써 치유되지 않는 식도이완불능증을 가지고 있는 15세의 남자 환자에서 5개의 작은 절개창을 통한 복부내시경을 이용하여 식도근절제술과 위저부성형술을 시행하여 증상을 현저히 개선하고 방사선적, 임상적 객관적 치료효과를 성공적으로 치험하였다.

A 10-year-old castrated male papillon presented with nasal discharge, coughing and chronic dysphagia. On physical examination, the dog exhibited sneezing, gurgling and movement of the throat with repeated attempts to swallow fluids. A diagnosis of cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA) was made based on video fluoroscopic demonstration of failure of relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter. This report describes the diagnosis of CPA in an old dog, which is rarely diagnosed in older animals.

Achalasia는 식도의 확장을 동반하는 탐도분문부의 비기질적폐색을 이르키는 질환으로 그 원인은 불명하나 식도하부괄약근의 이완장애와 식도체부에서의 정상연동운동의 결여로 나타나는데 원래 근육신경계의 기능장애의 하나로 중추신경계통의 병변으로 신경 신경절 및 근육의 변성을 이르켜 생긴다는 설이 유력시되고 있다. 주요증상은 연하장애 음식물토출 및 심와부 동통등이다. 저자들은 43세 여자에서의 achalasia 1례를 치험하였기에 문헌적고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

식도천공은 비교적 드물지 않게 볼 수 있고 종종 치명적인 결과를 야기하므로 응급 수술을 필요로 한다. 식도 천공에 대한 수술은 개흉술을 통한 일차 봉합이 대부분이었으나 최근 들어 흉강경 수술 접근을 통해 동등한 결과를 보이고 있다. 뵈르하베 증후군 및 식도이완불능증에 대한 공기 확장술 중 발생한 식도천공 환자에 대해 흉강경을 이용한 일차 봉합술 및 근 절개술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 보인 두 증례를 보고하는 바이다.
