Achalasia-like disturbance of oesophageal motility following truncal vagotomy and antrectomy

Abstract

This report describes a patient who developed radiological and manometric evidence of an achalasia-like disturbance of oesophageal motility following transabdominal truncal vagotomy and antrectomy. The patient presented with severe dysphagia which spontaneously resolved after 8 weeks. Subsequent barium swallow and oesophageal manometry demonstrated a return to normal function.
