Tripple A syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by achalasia, alacrimia and glucocorticoid deficiency. Three patients in different age groups who had difficulty in swallowing due to achalasia admitted to our outpatient clinic. All of the cases had tripple A syndrome. Peroral endoscopic myotomy was performed to the cases. No postoperative complications were observed. No symptoms or recurrences were observed in the patients in the post-op follow-ups for at least 1 year. We think that peroral endoscopic myotomy can be used safely in the treatment of achalasia in patients with Tripple A syndrome.
