Resolution of dysphagia due to secondary achalasia with neuropathic chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction by peroral endoscopic myotomy.

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare condition affecting the motility of the lower gastrointestinal tract, while achalasia is an uncommon esophageal motility disorder. The coexistence of both conditions is extremely rare. We present the case of a patient who had both pathologies, admitted for dysphagia and oral intolerance, the symptoms finally resolved by performing a POEM.

Impact of gastrointestinal symptoms and psychological distress on quality of life in systemic sclerosis: a cross-sectional study.

Consequently, patients with SSc have longer life expectancy, and health-related quality of life (HrQoL) has become more relevant in the comprehensive management of the disease.
