Abstract
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare condition affecting the motility of the lower gastrointestinal tract, while achalasia is an uncommon esophageal motility disorder. The coexistence of both conditions is extremely rare. We present the case of a patient who had both pathologies, admitted for dysphagia and oral intolerance, the symptoms finally resolved by performing a POEM.
