Comment
A-55-year old female presented by progressive dysphagia over a long period, she refused endoscope examination for a long period. On abdominal ultrasonic examination the esophageus appeared dilated and tapers in a funnel shaped manner. Upper endoscopic examination and barium swallow confirmed the diagnosis.
