Abstract: | Dysphagia secondary to primary cricopharyngeal achalasia (PCA) is infrequently seen in paediatric patients. Two female children with PCA who had recurrent attacks of aspiration pneumonia are presented. A cricopharyngeal myotomy was successfully performed in both cases, confirming its efficacy. Investigation and management of this rare condition are reviewed. |
