📋Overview
Achalasia is a rare esophageal motility disorder characterized by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and loss of esophageal peristalsis, leading to difficulty in swallowing and food passage into the stomach. It is a well-established condition with no known synonym or legacy term that replaces the modern diagnosis of achalasia.
