Congenital esophageal stenosis caused by tracheobronchial remnants: a case report [PDF]
We describe a case of congenital esophageal stenosis in which the patient underwent ineffective balloon dilatation twice and eventually required surgery. The case was initially misdiagnosed as achalasia.

Esophageal Stenosis in a Patient with Lichen Planus. [PDF]
Lichen planus is a chronic, idiopathic disorder which usually affects skin and mucosal surfaces. While oral mucosa is frequently involved, esophageal localization is uncommon, and it usually manifests with dysphagia. It has also been associated with squamous cell carcinoma. Underdiagnosing of esophageal lichen planus often leads to a delay in treatment.

Congenital Esophageal Stenosis [PDF]
TO THE EDITOR: Four of the five patients with congenital esophageal stenosis described in the Journal by Katzka et al. had multiple ringlike strictures superimposed on their longer, smooth strictures (1). Both "rings" and "webs" have been used to name this disorder, which is distinct from "feline esophagus," a normal radiological variant (2).
