DESCRIPTION  Achalasia is a disorder of the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). The esophagus is less able to move food toward the stomach and the valve from the esophagus to the stomach does not relax as much as it needs to during swallowing. This relaxation is needed to allow food to enter the stomach.

The disorder is characterized by loss of the wave-like contraction of smooth muscles that forces food through the digestive tract. (These contractions are called peristalsis.) The condition also includes spasms of the valve (lower esophageal sphincter) from the esophagus to the stomach, which prevents it from opening. |
Another part of the disorder is lack of nervous stimulation to the esophagus. Causes include damage to the nerves to the esophagus, parasitic infection, cancers, and hereditary factors. Achalasia may occur at any age. |
Among the tests that may be needed to diagnose achalasia and rule out other conditions are the following: |
- Esophagography (barium swallow) — You will swallow a thick liquid (barium) that can be seen on an X-ray. The test can show whether the esophagus is enlarged or dilated, and whether the barium is able to empty properly into the stomach. The study is generally painless, although some people experience the same discomfort they may have when swallowing foods or liquids.
- Endoscopy — Even if your medical history and the results of the barium swallow indicate you probably have achalasia, endoscopy usually is done to check for cancer, which could be keeping the LES closed, and other diseases such as infectious or inflammatory conditions associated with achalasia. This is an outpatient procedure. You will be sedated mildly as the doctor passes a flexible tube down your esophagus and looks at the lining of the esophagus and stomach. A piece of tissue (biopsy) may be taken to be examined under a microscope. One of the treatments for achalasia, balloon dilation, can be performed during endoscopy.
- Manometry — Manometry is a key test in diagnosing achalasia. A thin tube will be passed through your nose into your stomach, and pressure in your esophagus and at the LES will be recorded while you drink sips of water and the tube is slowly withdrawn. The pattern of pressure measurements can indicate whether a person has achalasia. Occasionally, a small injection of medication under the skin will be given to provoke the characteristic pressure readings of achalasia.
