A 14-month-old severely retarded girl with a history of regurgitation, aspiration, and recurrent pneumonia was found to suffer from diffuse oesophageal spasm. This diagnosis was made by oesophageal cineradiography. This case suggests that diffuse oesophageal spasm is an oesophageal motility disorder that causes respiratory disease in the retarded child.
