Achalasia Cardia: Symptoms, Causes & Modern Treatment Options

Achalasia Cardia is a rare disorder of the esophagus or food pipe, characterized by difficulty in swallowing food. In normal conditions, swallowed food passes through the food pipe into the stomach. This requires coordinated action of the esophagus known as peristalsis and relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter known as the lower esophageal sphincter or LES. In patients with achalasia cardia, both the contraction of the esophagus muscle and relaxation of the LES are defective, leading to difficulty in swallowing food. Patients usually complain of a choking sensation after swallowing food or liquids.
