Vigorous achalasia is a condition that resembles achalasia in that the lower oesophageal sphincter is hypertonic, but the oesophageal body also shows high amplitude, long-duration contractions. This may produce chest pain and dysphagia.
Drug therapy and pneumatic dilatation are of little benefit in this condition; cardiomyotomy may show better results.
