title: Achalasia cardia.
abstract: Achalasia cardia is an uncommon condition in children. It needs special consideration as it is associated with a higher incidence of recurrent respiratory infection and failure of growth and development, thereby requiring an early surgical intervention. Four such cases who were successfully managed surgically are described.
