We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who suffered from biliary-type pain after cholecystectomy, dysphagia, and weight loss. Examinations revealed sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) and achalasia. Complete relief of symptoms was achieved by endoscopic sphincterotomy and pneumatic dilation of the distal esophagus. This case report demonstrates for the first time the concomitant manifestation of two motility disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, i.e. achalasia and SOD. At present, any causal relationship seems speculative; however, both diseases were successfully treated using endoscopic procedures.
