Retrograde gastroesophageal intussusception complicating chronic achalasia.
We treated a patient with retrograde gastroesophageal intussusception complicating chronic achalasia. Operation consisted of diaphragmatic division in the median plane to facilitate reduction, followed by Heller myotomy and fundoplication for the achalasia. The patient was able to eat normally after recovery.
