Another case of idiopathic megaesophagus in a girl with growth hormone deficiency [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
BACKGROUND: Achalasia or idiopathic megaesophagus is rare in children, and an association with growth hormone (GH) deficiency has rarely been described. CASE REPORT: This report is of a girl treated with recombinant GH (rGH) for isolated GH deficiency who simultaneously presented with idiopathic megaesophagus. CONCLUSION: This case report highlights the fact that practitioners need to be aware of this possible morbid association.
