High oesophageal web formation in association with heterotopic gastric mucosa (the gastric inlet patch): a small case series.
Frontline Gastroenterol
April 2011
Article Synopsis
- - A small case series identified six patients with upper oesophageal webs linked to heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) at a dysphagia clinic, suggesting a rare but noteworthy association.
- - Oesophageal dilatation showed significant symptomatic improvement in patients, indicating a potential treatment approach for this condition.
- - The study highlights that webs or rings may align with areas of HGM and can occur at various junctions in the esophagus, but the overall rarity of such cases limits broader conclusions.
