Esophageal remodeling in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2007
Eosinophils are associated with airway remodeling in asthma, but studies have not yet determined whether eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is associated with esophageal remodeling.We performed quantitative immunohistochemical analysis of remodeling changes in esophageal biopsy specimens from children with and without EE to evaluate if there were changes in

Esophageal dilation in eosinophilic esophagitis

Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2015
Tissue remodeling with scaring is common in adult EoE patients with long standing disease. This is the major factor contributing to their complaints of solid food dysphagia and recurrent food impactions. The best tests to define the degree of remodeling are barium esophagram, high resolution manometry and endoscopy.

ESOPHAGITIS DISSECANS SUPERFICIALIS (ESOPHAGEAL CAST) COMPLICATING ESOPHAGEAL SCLEROTHERAPY

American Journal of Gastroenterology, 1998
Esophagitis dissecans superficialis is a rare and benign condition that involves the formation of an esophageal cast. This disorder has been described in association with a variety of etiologic factors. We report a case of an esophageal cast in a patient included in a program of sclerotherapy of varices.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2003
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a new disease commonly confused with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Because of different treatments, recognition of eosinophilic esophagitis is important.Recent work further characterizes the allergic response, demonstrating a population of eosinophils different from gut and blood that specifically homes to the esophagus ...

Esophageal stenting for spontaneous esophageal perforation

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2012
Stenting has proven to be a promising treatment of spontaneous esophageal perforation, but currently, the scientific background to treatment of this condition is limited.Fourteen consecutive patients with spontaneous esophageal perforation were treated with coated self-expandable stent and a debridement procedure (three patients by thoracotomy, four by

Esophageal Cancer With Esophageal Duplication Cyst

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013
Esophageal duplication cysts are benign, asymptomatic anomalies of foregut formation. We report a case of esophageal duplication cyst with esophageal squamous cancer. An upper endoscopy visualized with esophageal scan disclosed a stenotic lesion in the lower esophagus. Computed tomography images revealed a cystic mass in the inferior mediastinum, which

Esophageal-Pericardial and Esophageal-Atrial Fistulae

Thoracic Surgery Clinics
Fistulae between the esophagus and the pericardium or the left atrium are rare but feared complications of transcatheter ablations and esophageal procedures and pathologies. Patients may present variably with cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, infectious, and/or neurologic symptoms; a high index of suspicion is paramount.

Esophageal duplication and congenital esophageal stenosis

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2017
Esophageal duplication and congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) may represent diseases with common embryologic etiologies, namely, faulty tracheoesophageal separation and differentiation. Here, we will re-enforce definitions for these diseases as well as review their embryology, diagnosis, and treatment.

Esophageal Motility in the Assessment of Esophageal Function

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2001
Esophageal manometry assesses lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and its relaxation. In addition, it detects the ability of the esophageal body to initiate a peristaltic contraction and the contraction's amplitude in response to a water bolus.
