ABSTRACT
Achalasia cardia is a neuromuscular disorder of the oesophagus, characterized by abnormal oesophageal motility and failure of lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. It usually manifests in the fourth and fifth decades of life. It is unusual in childhood and is extremely rare under the age of one year. We report a 7-month-old child with oesophageal achalasia treated with laparoscopic Heller’s oesophagomyotomy.
