    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Medication-induced esophagitis (MIE) is an underrecognized esophageal condition.
    • Understanding its diagnostic features is essential for clinical practice.

    Observation:

    • This study describes the clinical, radiographic, and endoscopic features of MIE in four patients.
    • High clinical suspicion is key to initiating diagnostic workup.

    Findings:

    • MIE commonly affects the proximal esophagus, especially the aortic segment, and sometimes the distal esophagus.
    • Double-contrast esophagrams can reveal superficial erosions, shallow ulcers, and subtle mucosal changes.
    • Endoscopic examination is also a valuable diagnostic tool.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis of MIE through appropriate imaging and endoscopy can prevent complications.
    • Awareness of MIE's characteristic features aids in accurate diagnosis and patient management.
