Core Tip	Primary achalasia is associated with loss of ganglion cells in the esophagus and in the lower esophageal sphincter. In the last decade, achalasia pathophysiology has been widely studied, and investi-gations have aimed to expand clinical management beyond mere treatment of symptoms and towards attacking the specific cause of the disease. While the etiologies remain unclear and no cure exists, the most recent findings suggest an interaction between autoimmune and inflammatory responses, possibly triggered by viral infection, in genetically susceptible individuals. This article reviews the recent advances in understanding the disease pathogenesis with implications for improving therapeutic management.
