Fig. 4. 87-year-old woman with secondary achalasia caused by carcinoma of
uterus. Spot radiograph from double-contrast barium study shows 4-cm-long
smooth, tapered narrowing (arrows) of distal esophagus with
esophageal diameter proximally of 3.5 cm. As in
Figure 3, a narrowed segment
longer than 3.5 cm should be considered highly suggestive of secondary
achalasia, even lacking other suspicious radiographic findings.
