Chronic esophagitis dissecans with acute dysphagia

  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

L’œsophagite disséquante chronique est une entité rare, de pathogénie inconnue. Elle se caractérise par l’association d’une dysphagie chronique sans signe de reflux gastro-œsophagien, d’un détachement en lambeaux de la muqueuse œsophagienne en endoscopie, et de signes histologiques propres. Notre observation est particulière dans la survenue d’une dysphagie aiguë, événement non rapporté jusqu’à présent.

Summary

The chronic oesophagitis dissecans is a rare entity which has been rather recently described which pathogenesis is still unknown. It can be defined by the association of a chronic dysphagia without esophageal reflux, endoscopic signs such as a flap of esophageal mucosa, and particular histological features. Our case report is particular by the occurrence of an acute dysphagia, event which has not been reported so far.
