Figure 30. Upright frontal spot image from double-contrast esophagography shows typical findings of primary achalasia, with dilated aperistaltic esophagus and tapered beaklike narrowing (arrow) of distal esophagus due to incomplete opening of the lower esophageal sphincter. This image was obtained in a middle-aged patient with long-standing dysphagia.
