Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is detected frequently in dysphagia and noncardiac chest pain. Management of patients with EoE may be complicated because EoE is associated frequently with esophageal motility disorders. We present the rare case of esophageal achalasia (EA) associated with eosinophilic infiltration and a literature review. ⋯ The results suggest that the patient had primary EA associated with eosinophilic infiltration and that the combined occurrence of these rare diseases is not just a coincidence.
