Abstract:
A 14-year-old girl presented with dysphagia since the age of one year. Investigations revealed two strictures at the lower esophagus. Endoscopic mucosal biopsy from the strictures showed pseudostratified columnar epithelium suggesting that tracheobronchial remnants was the cause of the stenosis. Esophageal dilatation failed to relieve her symptoms.
