An infant with cricopharyngeal achalasia, recurrent aspiration pneumonia, and severe failure to thrive was fed for 5 months through a nasogastric tube. She responded promptly to dilatations of the spastic cricopharyngeal muscle. Normal oral feedings followed the treatment with progressive weight gain and no further pulmonary complications over a follow-up period of 1 1/2 years. Dilatations were used in the infant described here, in analogy to the well-known success of treatment by dilatations in infants with achalasia of the lower esophagus.
一名患有环咽肌失弛缓症、反复吸入性肺炎且严重发育不良的婴儿通过鼻胃管喂养了5个月。她对痉挛性环咽肌的扩张治疗反应迅速。治疗后开始正常经口喂养，在1年半的随访期内体重逐渐增加，且未再出现肺部并发症。本文所述婴儿采用了扩张治疗，这类似于在患有食管下段失弛缓症的婴儿中通过扩张治疗取得的成功经验。
