Abstract
Idiopathic achalasia is a chronic oesophageal motility disorder caused by loss of inhibitory neurons at the esophageal myenteric plexus resulting in incomplete relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter and abnormal peristaltism. Among the possible causes of this, an immune response secondary to infection by some viruses has been implicated. SARS-CoV-2 could be considered among them. The therapy option should be aimed at achieving the greatest clinical effectiveness according to each patient's health status.
