Abstract

The article shows the results of diagnosis and treatment of achalasia of the esophagus in 21 children aged from 20 months to 15 years. Radiological examination with the use of the nitroglycerin test was highly informative and authentic in all cases. To evaluate the condition of the esophagus, additional endoscopic and esophagomanometric examination is necessary. From analysis of the results of drug therapy in all patients, operative in 13, and pneumocardiodilatation in 7 children it was found that treatment of achalasia of the esophagus in children should begin with forced pneumodilatation. Modified Heller's operation with fundoplication produces good results.
