Sumario:BACKGROUND: Achalasia is a primary esophageal motility disease characterized by impairment of normal esophageal peristalsis and absence of relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Sometimes is can be a part of some genetic disorders. One of the causes of gastrointestinal motility disorders, including achalasia, is mitochondrial defects. CASE SUMMARY: We report about a pregnant woman with a history of symptoms associated with inherited mitochondrial disease, which was confirmed by genetic tests, and who was treated via peroral endoscopic myotomy. CONCLUSION: Peroral endoscopic myotomy is possible treatment option for a pregnant woman with achalasia caused by mitochondrial disease.
