Abstract:The variability of the clinical and pathological properties in cases of childhood achalasia are indicative of a complex pattern of varying etiologies and a comparison with the disease in adults does not, in principle, allow the assumption of a separate clinical entity. The present findings are compatible with the histopathological results of hereditary achalasia in children as described for Allgrove's syndrome.
