INTRAMURAL TRACHEOBRONCHIAL REMNANTS: A MISDIAGNOSED CAUSE OF CONGENITAL ESOPHAGEAL STENOSIS
Authors
Abstract:
In cases of congenital esophageal stenosis due to tracheobronchial remnants, symptoms of partial esophageal obstruction appear at the time of weaning or during early childhood. In the absence of esophagitis, esophagram combined with cinefluoroscopy demonstrates fixed stenosis of distal esophagus and appears to be diagnostic. Dilatation of rigid stenosis is invariably unrewarding and surgical resection is mandatory. Pathologically, the presence of cartilage or respiratory seromucinous glands in the esophageal wall are pathognomonic features. Other congenital anomalies may be encountered in some cases (30%).

Objective: To emphasize the need of an accurate diagnosis of congenital esophageal stenosis due to tracheobronchial remnants, since its treatment differs from other types of congenital narrowing. Case description: Four cases of lower congenital esophageal stenosis due to tracheobronchial remnants, whose definitive diagnosis was made by histopathology. Except for the last case, in which a concom...

This paper presents the authors' experience with congenital oesophageal stenosis (= CES) in three patients who had CES due to tracheobronchial remnants. Difficulties with feeding started at 6-9 months of age, which corresponded with the introduction of solids. Contrast studies showed stenosis at the junction of the mid and distal thirds of the oesophagus. Limited resection of the oesophageal st...

Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) can be classified into three types based on the etiology of stenosis: tracheobronchial remnants (TBRs), fibromuscular hypertrophy (FMH), and membranous diaphragm (MD). It is important to make a differential diagnosis because the therapeutic plan for CES is determined by its etiology. Most cases of FMH and MD can be managed with balloon dilatation, whereas ca...
