    Cricopharyngeal achalasia (CA) is a rarely reported entity.

    1st-case: 40y woman with chronic cervical dysphagia: gastroscopy, barium transit(BT), high-resolution manometry(HRM), ultrasound, CT compatible with CA. During gastroscopy for CA myotomy(C-POEM), an upper pulsating compression was observed. Angio-CT diagnosed lusoria dysphagia.

    2nd-case: 83y with upper dysphagia and microaspirations. BT, HRM, Angio-CT, Videoradiology CA compatible. Patient only accepted botulinum toxin, worsening symptomatology. Finally patient agreed C-POEM. After tunneling without a cap due to the limited space, myotomy of the cricopharyngeal bar was performed. Immediate symptomatic improvement from the first day.

    CA without Zenker’s diverticulum requires a careful diagnosis. Endoscopic treatment is feasible.
