Abstract
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a newly developed endoscopic intervention for esophageal achalasia. We present a case of a patient undergoing POEM, who suffered intra operative hemodynamic collapse due to massive pneumomediastinum as well as massive pneumoperitoneum requiring emergent needle decompression.
