Megaoesophagus Presenting as Stridor
preprint
OA: closed
Abstract
Acute airway obstruction is a rare presentation of megaoesophagus. Megaoesophagus is commonly caused by achalasia; however, we present a case of megaoesophagus caused by idiopathic dysmotility disorder. Decompression with a wide bore nasogastric tube avoided a scenario of difficult intubation or emergency front of neck access
