| Abstract |
|
Esophageal duplication, a term used synonymously with enteric cyst, foregut cyst, gastroenteric
cyst, enteric duplication, and etc, is a rare developmental anomaly which occures during differentia-
tion of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi from the primitive foregut. They may cause dysphagia,
regurgitation, pneumonia, hemoptysis, and occasionally produce alarming airway obstruction.
We experienced a case with chief complaints of pale appearance and swallowing difficulty in 5
years old male child, who was diagnosed as iron deficiency anemia as a result of esophageal
duplication in mediastinum. After the esophageal duplication was removed by resection, above
symptoms and signs were improved.
We presented this case with a review of referential literatures. |
