Idiopathic achalasia is a primary motor disorder characterized by aperistalsis of the esophagus and abnormal relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in response to deglutition. It is a genetic disorder with an estimated annual occurrence of 1/100,000 and a prevalence rate of 1/10,000. The disease can occur at any age, with men and women at a similar rate, but is usually diagnosed between 25 and 60 years old. It is predominantly characterized by dysphagia to solids and liquids, bland regurgitation and chest pain. The diagnosis is based on disease history, radiography (barium esophagogram), and testing of esophageal motility (esophageal manometry). It is necessary to rule out malignancy as the cause of achalasia by endoscopic test.
