| مستخلص: | Achalasia is an uncommon disease that occurs due to inability of lower esophageal sphincter from relaxing, leading to dysphagia to liquids and solids. Clues to this diagnosis include: failed treatment with proton pump inhibitors, and changes on imaging studies including chest X-ray and barium esophagogram. Ultimately it is a diagnosis made on esophageal manometry. Swallow-induced syncope has been known in patients with achalasia for almost three centuries. Here we present the case of a patient with achalasia and a non-swallowing syncopal episode. To our knowledge and extensive search, there has been no report of a similar case.
