Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a hereditary disorder affecting both skin and esophageal mucosa. The esophagus is frequently affected resulting in almost complete obstruction.

Dilatation therapy was tolerated well in all three cases and lead to a long standing success. The patients lived without complaints and they did eat normally up to 2.5 years following dilatation.
