A very rare complication of achalasia (cardiospasm) is presented. In the authors' case the esophagus of a 15-year old girl was dilated to a great extent and caused through the compression of the trachea upper respiratory obstruction. Following the surgical solution of the achalasia the respiratory complications ceased too. Attention is drawn to the possibility that esophagus diseases may play a significant role in the etiology of different pulmonary diseases.
