Abstract
|
|
|
Achalasia is characterized by failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax normally during swallowing and aperistaltic movement of the esophageal body. The large majority of achalasia is idiopathic, a disorder of unknown etiology with ganglion cell degeneration of esophageal myenteric plexus. Only small proportion of achalasia is secondary induced by malignant tumors. To date, the achalasia in patiet with colon cancer has not been reported. We report a case of achalasia diagnosed before the detection of colon cancer with multiple metastasis. (Kor J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2008;14:51-56)
