Endoscopy, barium esophagram and manometry are used in the diagnosis of achalasia. In the case of early achalasia, characteristic endoscopic findings are difficult to recognize. As a result, the diagnosis of achalasia is often made several years after symptom onset. Therefore, we examined the endoscopic findings of the cardiac orifice in achalasia and propose a new classification.
