Intestinal Metaplasia of the Distal Esophagus in a Patient With Untreated Achalasia—An Unusual Case and Review of Literature
ABSTRACT Barrett's esophagus (BE) and achalasia are distinct esophageal disorders with opposing pathophysiologic mechanisms, making their coexistence exceedingly rare. We describe a 51‐year‐old woman who presented with progressive dysphagia, postprandial vomiting, and significant weight loss over 8 months.
