ABSTRACT
Esophageal achalasia is a relatively rare disease in children that has been treated with balloon dilatation, botulinum toxin injection, and Heller myotomy. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is another treatment that has been successfully employed to treat adults with achalasia for over a decade and has been increasingly used in children. This State of the Art Review from the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition Endoscopy Committee reviews the current literature in pediatric POEM including the technique, success rate, complications as well as training guidelines. Though there is limited data, POEM in children has shown encouraging success rates and with further study may become the mainstay of pediatric achalasia treatment.
