Achalasia is a motility disorder characterized by failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax. The main symptoms are dysphagia to solids and liquids, and other symptoms may include regurgitation, chest pain, and weight loss. Diagnosis involves endoscopy, barium swallow, and manometry, with manometry being confirmatory. Treatment options include pneumatic dilation, botulinum toxin injection, or medication if other options fail.
