We describe an unusual case of achalasia. The patient, a 33-year-old woman, presented with a clinical history of esophageal disease verified by gastroscopy. The diagnosis of hysterical anorexia that had been made some years previously did not correspond with the nosological classifications (DSM III-R, DSM IV). This case underscores the importance of the correct use of clinical methodology, particularly when conclusive diagnosis is essential for successful treatment.
我们描述了一例罕见的贲门失弛缓症病例。患者为一名33岁女性，有经胃镜检查证实的食管疾病临床病史。数年前做出的癔症性厌食症诊断与疾病分类标准（DSM III-R、DSM IV）不符。该病例强调了正确运用临床方法的重要性，尤其是在确诊对成功治疗至关重要时。
