Achalasia is a primary oesophageal motility disorder characterized by the absence of Oesophageal peristalsis and impaired lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation in response to swallowing leading to functional obstruction at the gastroesophageal CC –BY 4.0 junction. It is unusual in childhood and extremely rare in infants. We report a case of Achalasia cardia in a twomonth bold infant treated with anterior oesophago-cardio- ga stromyotomy (Modified Heller’s procedure).
