Abstract

Achalasia in infancy is rare. A male infant who started to have symptoms at the age of 4 months, and who was operated at the age of 17 months is described. Post operatively the symptoms subsided and normal growth and development were regained. Achalasia should be included in the differential diagnosis of children with regurgitation, vomiting and failure to thrive.
