Abstract
Abstract: Achalasia cardia is a common abnormal esophageal motility due to poorly relaxing lower esophageal sphincter and aperistalsis of esophageal body. Aim of this paper is to report one case of middle aged Thai woman with complaint of dysphagia for 3 months. After further investigation, final diagnosis was Achalasia cardia. She was treated with pneumatic balloon dilatation. Result of treatment was markedly improved without complication.
