ABSTRACT

The congenital esophageal stenosis is defined as an intrinsic stenosis of the esophagus caused by one of the three histologically groups: 1) tracheobronchial remnants, 2) fibromuscular thickening and 3) membranous webbing. The following anomalies can be associated in up to 17 to 33%: atresia esophageal, cardiac anomalies, intestinal atresia, cardiac anomalies, anorectal malformations and chromosomal anomalies.
The main clinically significant symptoms, vomiting and disphagia, represent a challenge for the variety of diferential diagnostic like achalasia or peptic stricture recondary to reflux esophagitis.
The surgical treatment consisted of resecting the stenotic segment and then performing a primary anastomosis whith the possibility of an antireflux procedure in those cases where the stenosis is close to the esophageal-gastric union.
