Abstract

This case report explores the rare occurrence of achalasia cardia in a 24-year-old male in India, highlighting the unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment. The atypical demographic and the efficacy of laparoscopic Heller’s myotomy with Dor’s fundoplication underscore the importance of reporting such cases. The background reveals an unusual presentation of achalasia cardia in a 24-year-old male at Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, justifying its documentation due to the infrequency of this condition in this age group. The case involves a patient with a one-month history of dysphagia, regurgitation, vomiting, weight loss, and weakness, confirmed as achalasia cardia type III. The individual underwent laparoscopic Heller’s myotomy with Dor’s fundoplication, resulting in a successful outcome, post-surgery stabilization, and discharge with appropriate medications. Conclusively, this report underscores the importance of identifying achalasia cardia in unconventional demographics, especially among young adults in India. The successful implementation of laparoscopic Heller’s myotomy with Dor’s fundoplication suggests its efficacy as a preferred treatment, offering perspectives on potential minimally invasive strategies and emphasizing the broader clinical impact of tailored interventions for esophageal motility disorders in specific populations. This contribution aims to raise awareness about diagnostic procedures and effective treatment approaches in achalasia cardia cases, contributing to an improved comprehension and management of this intricate esophageal disorder.

Keywords: achalasia cardia, laproscopic heller’s myotomy, dor’s fundoplication, dysphagia, effectiveness, management.
