일차성 Achalasia 에서 공기풍선확장술로 인한 식도천공의 내과적 치험 = Non-Sufgical Treatment of Esophageal Perforation after Pneumatic Ballon Dilatation for Primary Achalasia

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Pueumatic balloon dilatation of the lower esophageal sphincter has been known as a primary therapy for achalasia. However, perforation of esophagus is the most common complication of pneumatic dilatation in patients with achalasia. The treatment of these patients, especially with communication of the perforated area with either the pleural or peritoneal spaces, has been focused to surgical management. We report the successful non-surgical treatment of esophageal perforation with radiographic evidence of communication of perforated area with the pleural spaces after pneumatic dilatation in a patient with primary achalasia.
