ABSTRACT
Perforation of stasis ulcers in achalasia cardia has not been reported in literature. We report a 45-year-old lady with achalasia and rheumatoid arthritis who developed perforation and esophago-mediastinal sinus at the site of stasis ulcers. She succumbed to respiratory infection after resection of the sinus tract, Heller's cardiomyotomy, cervical esophagostomy and feeding jejunostomy.
