We present a case of respiratory compromise from mechanical compression of the trachea by the distended esophagus in a patient with achalasia. Our patient was unusual because of young age, male sex, and family history of achalasia. We review the literature on this unusual complication of achalasia.
我们报告一例贲门失弛缓症患者因扩张的食管对气管进行机械性压迫而导致呼吸功能受损的病例。我们的患者较为特殊,因其年龄较轻、为男性且有贲门失弛缓症家族史。我们回顾了关于贲门失弛缓症这一罕见并发症的文献。
