An unusual case of congenital lower oesophageal diaphragm (web) associated with
achalasia
is described. An 18-year-old nulliparous girl presented with severe cachexia and
aphagia
following progressive dysphagia. A barium swallow demonstrated the
achalasia
, and the oesophageal diaphragm with a central pinhole opening was seen at endoscopy. Parenteral hyperalimentation was required for ten weeks prior to surgery. Circumferential excision of the oesophageal diaphragm in conjunction with Y-V advancement oesophagoplasty gave a good result.
