Triple A syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by adrenocorticotropic hormone-resistant adrenal insufficiency, alacrima and achalasia. In the last 5 years, per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has proved highly successful in treating primary achalasia over the long term, but its long-term performance has not been certified by achalasia related to Triple A syndrome.
Triple A syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by adrenocorticotropic hormone-resistant adrenal insufficiency, alacrima and achalasia. In the past 5 years, POEM has proved highly successful in treating primary achalasia over the long term, but its long-term performance has not been certified by achalasia related to Triple A syndrome. Eckardt scores and esophageal manometry improved significantly during the 2 years following POEM; however, grade-A reflux esophagitis recurred in 66.7% of patients in 12 mo post-procedure.
Based on these case studies, POEM is efficacious and safe for a treatment of achalasia associated with Triple A syndrome.
三 A 综合征是一种罕见的常染色体隐性疾病,其特征为促肾上腺皮质激素抵抗性肾上腺功能不全、无泪症和贲门失弛缓症。在过去 5 年中,经口内镜下肌切开术(POEM)已被证明在长期治疗原发性贲门失弛缓症方面非常成功,但其长期疗效尚未在与三 A 综合征相关的贲门失弛缓症中得到证实。

基于这些病例研究,POEM 治疗与三 A 综合征相关的贲门失弛缓症是有效且安全的。
