Familial achalasia in children.
[triple a syndrome]
Achalasia
is
rare
in
the
pediatric
age
group
and
in
most
cases
it
is
idiopathic
with
no
family
history
.
Familial
achalasia
is
very
rare
.
This
report
describes
two
families
with
achalasia
:
in
one
,
six
children
were
affected
while
in
the
other
a
brother
and
a
sister
had
Allgrove
's
syndrome
(
triple-
A
syndrome
consisting
of
achalasia
,
adrenal
insufficiency
,
and
alacrima
)
.
Familial
achalasia
suggests
that
it
is
hereditary
and
may
be
transmitted
as
an
autosomal
recessive
trait
.
The
management
of
achalasia
in
children
is
still
controversial
.
With
the
recent
advances
in
minimal
invasive
surgery
,
laparoscopic
Heller
's
myotomy
is
the
procedure
of
choice
in
the
management
of
achalasia
in
children
.
