Achalasia cardia is defined as a neuromuscular disorder of the oesophagus with abnormal motility and failure of relaxation of the distal oesophagus. It is an uncommon but well-recognised entity in infants and children. However, achalasia in a preterm baby has not been previously described. We report the condition in a premature infant with unusual presentation, treated successfully with Heller's oesophagomyotomy and fundoplication.
贲门失弛缓症被定义为一种食管神经肌肉疾病，伴有异常蠕动和食管远端松弛障碍。它在婴幼儿中并不常见，但却是一种广为人知的病症。然而，此前尚未有关于早产儿贲门失弛缓症的描述。我们报告了一例表现异常的早产儿的这种病症，经赫勒食管肌层切开术和胃底折叠术成功治疗。
