Suzuhigashi M, et al. – In this study, the current diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) were explored. Findings clarified the characteristics and outcomes of CES, including neonatal diagnoses. CES occurred in 1 in every 33,000 births in the Kyushu area. Researchers recommend paying careful attention even in cases of dilatation for fibromuscular stenosis (FMS). CES seemed to require long–term follow–up for symptom persistence after adequate and repeated treatment.
