Abstract
Peoral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been proved to be safe and effective for treating achalasia, however the presence of esophageal diverticulum would increase the technical difficulty. In this letter, we firstly report a case regarding POEM for achalasia with concomitant multiple esophageal diverticulums.
