Oesophageal obstructions cause regurgitation in infants and dysphagia in older children. Clinical evaluation, including ruling out infection and considering foreign body ingestion, guides diagnosis before simple imaging like X-rays and barium swallows.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Oesophageal obstructions present differently in neonates/infants (regurgitation, aspiration) versus older children (dysphagia).
  • Clinical assessment is crucial to exclude buccopharyngeal infections before further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic approach for oesophageal obstructions in children.
  • To differentiate common causes from rarer oesophageal pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical evaluation to rule out infection, foreign body ingestion, or caustic substance ingestion.
  • Radiological investigations including chest X-ray and barium swallow.

Main Results:

  • Dysphagia in older children warrants consideration of foreign body ingestion or cicatricial stenosis if fever is absent.

  • Intrinsic (stenosis, fistulas, duplications) and extrinsic (vascular malformations, mediastinal tumors) lesions are less frequent causes.
  • Simple radiological techniques are often sufficient for etiological diagnosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • A systematic clinical and radiological approach effectively diagnoses paediatric oesophageal obstructions.
    • Early identification of causes like foreign body ingestion is key to appropriate management.
