    Author: Zelter AR, Chiocca JC, Salis GB, Mazure PA.
    Journal: Acta Gastroenterol Latinoam; 1982; 12(1):23-32. PubMed ID: 6814141.
    Abstract:
    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.
