Core Tip	Typical esophageal dysmotility can be observed in pseudoachalasia, a secondary form of achalasia mostly due to cancer or even benign tumors, postoperative complications or paraneoplastic syndromes. Dysphagia is frequently observed in subjects with pseudoachalasia. We describe a peculiar case where dysphagia could be due to a vascular compression of the esophagus rather than involvement of the esophagus at the gastro-esophageal junction from gastric neoplasia. The less invasive therapeutic option should be proposed in an old patient. The reviews of our cases of pseudoachalasia and the literature are included.
