AB The  manifestations  of  achalasia  include  chest  pain,  dysphagia,  and  in  late  situations  malnutrition.  Most  patients  have  been  treated  for  some  length  of  time  for  the  presumptive  diagnosis  of  gastroesophageal  reflux  disease,  however  upon  objective  evaluation,  the  classic  findings  of  aperistalsis  of  the  esophagus  and  nonrelaxation  of  the  lower  esophageal  sphincter  are  realized.  Radiographic  evidence  may  demonstrate  long-standing  disease  and  in  some  situations  a  dilated  and  distended  esophagus.
