Zusammenfassung:Oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy for diagnostic is daily performed in adults and in children during sedation with propofol. This is administrated in France by anaesthesiologists. Pulmonary or cardiovascular complications are rare. We report a case of massive inhalation during an EGD with a teenager. The assessment has revealed an oesophageal achalasia, a condition rare in children and atypical development. This case highlights the importance of systematic screening for risk of a full stomach during the anaesthesia consultation, and the difficulty in evaluation in case of medical migrant patient.
