Achalasia esophagus and acute intestinal pseudo-obstruction are distinct gastrointestinal motility disorders rarely found together in the same patient. We present a case of a 96-year-old woman exhibiting symptoms of both conditions, including dysphagia, regurgitation, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Diagnostic evaluations revealed esophageal dilation with a "bird beak" sign on timed barium swallows and significant bowel dilation without mechanical obstruction on computed tomography scans.

It highlights the nuanced presentation and diagnostic challenges associated with sternal fractures in older patients. Despite the prevalent use of chest radiography and computed tomography in acute trauma assessments, this case emphasizes their limitations, as both modalities initially failed to detect the sternal fracture.
