The Importance of Esophagography in Patients With Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess esophageal damage in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) with or without dysphagia.

Subjects And Methods: Fourteen patients with either severe generalized or another generalized form of RDEB recruited through a research and support foundation were evaluated for obstructive esophageal lesions by means of barium esophagography.

Results: All patients, even those without dysphagia, had at least one stenosis; five patients had two stenoses.
