Аннотация
RATIONALE: Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders represent a set of variable presentations caused by an abnormal functioning enteric neuromusculature. Any part of the GI tract can be affected, and depending on the organ involved, the patient presentation will differ.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 26-years old female who had a history of laparoscopic Heller myotomy 15 years ago for progressive dysphagia. She presented with peritonitis and sigmoid colon perforation secondary to severe chronic constipation. Later after undergoing Hartman procedure, she continued to have significant constipation. In addition, she reported progressive dysphagia and regurgitation to both solids and liquids.
DIAGNOSIS: An esophageal manometry revealed Achalasia type 3, and stomach motility nuclear study showed mild delay in gastric emptying.
INTERVENTIONS: Initially, Hartmann procedure was performed. Afterward, we performed a reversal of Hartman, robotic redo of Heller myotomy, and Dor fundoplication was performed.
OUTCOMES: The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged in good condition.
LESSONS: Our case highlights an unusual presentation of GI motility disorder resulting in peritonitis from sigmoid colon perforation. Early recognition and prompt treatment of GI motility disorders are essential to avoid severe complications.
