esophageal stenosis/vomiting

BACKGROUND Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) has been reported to be a rare association in patients with esophageal atresia or tracheoesophageal fistula, or both (EA-TEF). This study investigates the clinical characteristics of this association with special reference to its treatment. METHODS A

During the past 5 years, 26 infants and children with gastroesophageal reflux were operated on. The results have been highly satisfactory and unattended by serious complications or mortality. Barium fluoroscopy was the most reliable diagnostic method. The indications for operation were persistent

BACKGROUND The aim of our study is to observe the outcome of pharyngocolonic anastomosis in esophageal reconstruction for diffuse corrosive esophageal stricture involving hypopharynx. METHODS This is a retrospective report of the experience and results of 14 patients undergoing esophageal

This study relates to an adult case of squamous cell carcinoma arising on congenital esophageal stenosis. The patient was a 65-year-old man who had suffered from dysphagia and vomiting since birth and was diagnosed as having congenital esophageal stenosis. The patient had not received any treatment

BACKGROUND Peptic esophageal stricture as a complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs in 5% of the affected children. METHODS Case histories of 6 children treated successfully in the Department of Pediatrics and Clinic of Pediatric Surgery were studied. The diagnosis in each case

Gross E-type congenital esophageal atresia associated with congenital esophageal stenosis is extremely rare. In a male infant born at 36 weeks of gestation, bubbly vomiting was noted after birth. X-ray films of the chest and abdomen showed coil-up sign of the nasogastric tube and gas in the stomach

OBJECTIVE To observe the experience and the outcome of pharyngo-colonic anastomosis for esophageal reconstruction in diffuse corrosive esophageal stricture involving hypopharynx. METHODS This retrospective report reviews the experience and results of 14 patients who underwent esophageal

Esophageal stenosis due to an intrinsic congenital factor is uncommon in infancy. We report a case of a male newborn infant, who was well at birth and presented with foamy sputum from the third day of life and vomiting at 18 days of age. Esophagogram revealed a narrowed segment, about 1 cm in

BACKGROUND Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a rare condition frequently associated with esophageal atresia (EA). There are limited data from small series about the presentation, treatment, and outcomes of CES. METHODS Medical records of all patients with CES included in the French Network on

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of balloon dilation (BD) with gastroscope in treatment of esophageal stricture in children. METHODS BD was performed in 12 children aged 5 - 59 months, average age 26 months, course of disease was 2 - 26 months, with esophageal stricture, 7 cases with

BACKGROUND Benign esophageal strictures can recur despite multiple dilatation procedures and palliative management can be challenging. OBJECTIVE To describe the technique and determine the outcome of esophageal stenting for treatment of refractory benign esophageal strictures (RBES) in

OBJECTIVE To determine outcome of bougienage for treatment of benign esophageal stricture (BES) in dogs and cats and identify risk factors for the condition. METHODS Retrospective case series. METHODS 20 dogs and 8 cats with BES. METHODS Medical records were reviewed for information on signalment,
