[Esophageal pathology associated with achalasia].
Out of 90 patients with esophageal achalasia seen during the last decade, we found associated esophageal pathology in 46,6% of the cases. The esophagitis occurred with a frequency of 26,6%, whereas esophageal hiatus hernia was found in 14,4%, benign esophageal stenosis in 5,5%, diverticula in 2,2% and tumors in 2,2%. The role of the different ethiopatogeneic factors is discussed as well as the approach to the above mentioned entities.
