Summary
Pediatric gastro-esophageal reflux may be linked to distal obstructions causing mid-esophageal strictures and Barrett esophagus. Barium studies should extend to the duodenojejunal junction for better diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Gastroenterology
- Esophageal Pathology
- Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders
Background:
- Mid-esophageal strictures in children can be associated with gastro-esophageal reflux.
- Columnar epithelium-lined esophagus (Barrett esophagus) is a known complication of chronic gastro-esophageal reflux.
- Partially obstructing lesions distal to the esophagus are less commonly considered in this context.
