Abstract:
The authors--in connection with two surgically successful treated cases--discuss the diagnosis and the surgical treatment of the cricopharyngeal achalasia. By means of histological methods it was verified that in the background of this disease stads an isolated muscle dystrophy localized to the upper esophageal sphincter.
