Summary
Oesophageal duplication cysts, rare congenital anomalies, can cause dysphagia. Submucosal tunnelling endoscopic resection (STER) offers a minimally invasive and effective treatment option for these foregut cysts.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Innovation
- Congenital Anomalies
Background:
- Oesophageal duplication cysts are uncommon congenital foregut anomalies.
- While often asymptomatic, symptomatic cysts can cause significant dysphagia, chest pain, and respiratory compromise due to compression.
- Accurate diagnosis relies on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), with surgical resection being the traditional treatment for symptomatic cases.
