抄録

This is to report a case of recurrent foreign bodies in the esophagus with achalasia which was thought to be a predisposing factor.
The boy had lodged, at first instance, a bulk of paper in the esophagus at 5 months old and at second, a seed of loquat at one year and 3 months old, and at third and at two years and 11 months old respectively. Each of the foreign bodies was lodged in the same location of the esophagus.
The wall of the esophagus showed no organic change, but fluoroscopic examination showed typical findinges of achalasia.
