Radiologically Evident Oesophageal Dilation in Paediatric Rumination Syndrome With Recurrent Aspiration Pneumonia: A Rare Case Without Achalasia [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We present a rare example of structural change likely due to behavioural disorder in a 15‐year‐old autistic boy with rumination syndrome who presented with progressive oesophageal dilation on CT. Achalasia was excluded based on imaging. ABSTRACT A 15‐year‐old autistic boy with rumination syndrome presented with progressive oesophageal dilation on CT ...

Enhanced Visualization of the Distal Myotomy Endpoint during Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Using Indocyanine Green With Infrared Imaging. [PDF]

DEN Open
Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.
