Definition

A motility disorder of the ESOPHAGUS in which the LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER (near the CARDIA) fails to relax resulting in functional obstruction of the esophagus, and DYSPHAGIA. Achalasia is characterized by a grossly contorted and dilated esophagus (megaesophagus).

Annotation
CARDIOSPASM refers to spasm of the CARDIA, not the heart; not for esophageal spasm ( = ESOPHAGEAL SPASM, DIFFUSE)
