Article Synopsis
- - An 11-year-old boy experienced severe abdominal pain, sialorrhea, and food impaction for a week, with a history of similar symptoms treated as a pharyngeal phlegmon ten months prior.
- - Diagnostic tests revealed mild inflammatory markers, a trachea deviation, and a tubular esophageal duplication identified via thoracic CT and endoscopy.
- - The patient was admitted for hydration, pain relief, and antibiotics, showing improvement without complications, while esophageal duplications are rare congenital anomalies that can lead to various symptoms and may require surgical intervention.

Serologies for hepatitis A-E virus and PCR test to SARS-CoV-2 were all negative.
