Abstract A 14-month-old severely retarded girl with a history of regurgitation, aspiration, and recurrent pneumonia was found to suffer from diffuse oesophageal spasm. This diagnosis was made by oesophageal cine-radiography. This case suggests that diffuse oesophageal spasm is an oesophageal motility disorder that causes respiratory disease in the retarded child.
