Abstract

ABSTRACT The pathophysiologies of achalasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease with Barrett's esophagus are highly distinct, though the clinical signs and symptoms of both are highly overlapped. The concomitant development of both achalasia and Barrett's esophagus is rare. We describe a case of a patient with a concomitant diagnosis of both pathologies and further explain the epidemiology of carrying both diseases simultaneously.
