Abstract
A retrospective study of 48 patients, living in the City of Cardiff, diagnosed as having achalasia between 1926 and 1977, was undertaken. The incidence of achalasia was 0.4/105/year. One previous study in Rochester, Minn., of 11 patients had a comparable incidence of 0.6/105/year. Our study failed to identify any aetiological factors.Keywords
