Abstract:
The presence of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper oesophagus has been reported to occur in up to 10 per cent of individuals but it is usually asymptomatic. We present two patients with symptomatic oesophageal heterotopic gastric mucosa and discuss the aetiology, pathogenesis, and management of the condition.
