Esophageal Stenosis Caused by Peptic Esophagitis or Ulceration

New England Journal of Medicine, 1954
SINCE operations on the esophagus are now commonplace and since peptic stenosis of the esophagus is of great current interest to the internist, radiologist, endoscopist and thoracic surgeon, it seems appropriate to review this controversial subject and bring it up to date.

Superimposed spontaneous esophageal perforation in congenital esophageal stenosis [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004
Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a very rare embryologic anomaly of tracheoesophageal development that requires lifelong management, usually with frequent esophageal dilations and dietary precautions. We present a patient with spontaneous thoracic esopahgeal perforation in a setting of CES. The patient, a 27-year-old male, recovered uneventfully

Congenital Esophageal Stenosis

2016
Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a rare entity with an estimated incidence of 1:25,000–50,000 live births. Three causes for CES have been described: tracheobronchial remnant, segmental fibromuscular hypertrophy, and membranous web. CES can be associated with other anomalies such as esophageal atresia, chromosomal anomalies, cardiac anomalies ...

Peptic esophageal stenosis in children

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1973
Abstract Of 192 cases of hiatus hernia, 121 were operated upon and 28 (14.5%) had peptic esophageal stenosis. Unduly prolonged medical treatment is likely to increase the incidence of stricture. Using conservative surgical procedures, a success rate of 85.7% has been achieved in the treatment of peptic esophageal stenosis without mortality.

Endosonography in the Assessment of Esophageal Stenosis

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1998
EUS is an invaluable tool to delineate the cause of esophageal strictures. In primary esophageal carcinoma, EUS is the most accurate means for locoregional tumor staging. The addition of EUS FNA improves lymph node staging accuracy over EUS alone. EUS FNA can also play a role in diagnosing the cause of strictures associated with lymphadenopathy or ...

Isolated congenital esophageal stenosis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1995
The incidence of congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is approximately 1 in 25,000 to 50,000 live births. There is associated esophageal atresia in one third of cases; the remainder are classified as isolated CES. Histologically, the anomaly may include tracheobronchial remnants, a membranous diaphragm, or diffuse fibrosis of the muscularis and ...

Management of congenital esophageal stenosis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2002
The authors report the incidence, diagnosis, and treatment methods of congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) at their institution.A retrospective analysis of 123 patients with tracheoesophageal anomalies in a pediatric hospital between 1980 and 1999 was performed.

Congenital esophageal stenosis in adults

The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000
Congenital esophageal stenosis is thought to be a rare disease confined to infancy and childhood with only a few case reports in adults described.We report five patients between the ages of 19 and 46 yr who presented with this disorder over a 2-yr period.Patients had been labeled with reflux strictures, webs, or as idiopathic in the past.

Esophageal motor function in congenital esophageal stenosis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2003
Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a rare condition that is associated with various foregut symptoms. The aim of the current study was to investigate esophageal motor function in pediatric patients with isolated CES.Four boys with CES (age, 3 weeks to 4 years old) were studied before treatment. The initial symptoms were dysphagia or stridor.

Distal congenital esophageal stenosis associated with esophageal atresia

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1991
A series of six patients with congenital esophageal stenosis associated with esophageal atresia (EA) and distal tracheoesophageal fistula is presented. Three patients required only repeated dilatations, and have had good results. Two patients required limited resections of the distal esophagus, with excellent results.
