  • Typically located in the upper esophagus, they manifest in early childhood.

Observation:

  • Symptoms include dysphagia and significant feeding challenges.
  • Radiography often shows a thin, anterior, or circumferential indentation of the esophageal lumen.

Findings:

  • This report details two pediatric cases of congenital esophageal webs.
