“…The prevalence of colorectal adenoma in patients with Barrett's esophagus has ranged from 8 to 45 percent; however, most of these studies have identified no increased prevalence compared with control subjects. 8,10,11,27,28 In cohort studies, as in case-control studies, the definition of the control group is extremely important; the control subjects must be free from the study variable. In some of the above-mentioned studies, there were no control groups.…”

“…Recent reports have suggested an increased risk of colonic neoplasms in patients with Barrett's esophagus [21,22], although an association of Barrett's esophagus with colorectal carcinoma and other extraesophageal malignancy is still a matter of controversy [23][24][25]. In fact, some of the recent studies failed to confirm the association [24][25][26].…”

Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding from multiple Barrett's ulcers associated with metachronous multiple colorectal carcinomas

Although gastroesophageal reflux disease is sometimes associated with esophageal ulcer and/or mucosal erosion, acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding from an esophageal ulcer is uncommon. We report a case of acute gastrointestinal bleeding from one of multiple esophageal ulcers in extensive Barrett's esophagus in the postoperative period after low anterior resection performed for descending colon carcinoma. A 74-year-old Japanese woman had undergone sigmoid colon resection 6 years earlier. The patient had a history of repeated reflux esophagitis. She was referred to a local hospital for a simple health screening 5 years after surgery. The patient had noticed bloody stool and felt mild difficulty at defecation 2 weeks before admission. Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy performed at a local hospital revealed a type 2 tumor located approximately 15 cm from the anal verge, which was obviously the cause of the bloody stool and constipation. The patient was admitted to our hospital for surgical treatment. Ten days after the low anterior resection, upper gastrointestinal bleeding occurred. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed multiple ulcers in the lower esophagus, which had caused the bleeding. Endoscopic biopsy revealed that esophageal ulcer occurred in the Barrett's esophagus, extending 15 cm from the functional esophagogastric junction. This case highlights acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding from multiple Barrett's ulcers in extensive Barrett's epithelium occurring in the postoperative period of colorectal carcinoma, and indicates an association of Barrett's esophagus with metachronous multiple colon carcinoma.

SUMMARYThis patient presented at one year of age with a dry and persistent cough prodominantly nocturnal, pneumonia on two occasions, and signs and symptoms compatible with bronchial asthma. Due to the high incidence of gastroesophageal reflux in patients with esophageal atresia , an entity that could be responsible for his symptoms, diagnostic procedures were done to confirm this diagnosis, and treatment was begun with cisapride during one month, but without improvement. It was then that a esophagogastroscopy was performed and Barrett's esophagus was diagnosed. The patient was medicated with cisapride and omeprazole, and two months later a Thal Fundoplication was done. The patient has continued on cisapride and omeprazole with great improvement, being asymptomatic for a period of nine months, and having had only on one occasion a respiratory crisis due to bronchospasm. A repeat esophagogastroscopy has been planned one year after his operation. ( Rev Med Hered 1998; 9: ).KEY WORDS: Barrett's esophagus, gastroesophageal reflux, adenocarcinoma, esophageal neoplasm. INTRODUCCIONSe presenta un niño quien presentaba desde el año de edad, tos seca exigente a predominio vespertino, presentando neumonía basal derecha y parahiliar derecha en dos ocasiones, y signos compatibles con asma bronquial. Se inició tratamiento con cisaprida ante la posibilidad de reflujo gastroesofágico durante un mes sin presentar mejoría. Se le realizó una esofagogastroscopía donde se diagnostica esófago de Barrett, recibiendo omeprazol y cisaprida, para luego procederse a una Fundoplicatura de Thal.Debido a la presentación infrecuente de esta entidad en niños se presenta este caso y se hace una revisión de la enfermedad. Caso ClínicoJGCH, varón, nacido a las 43 semanas de gestación por cesárea, por falta de dilatación uterina, con buen Apgar, pesando 3050 gms y con 47 cms de talla. Madre de 25 años, sana, primer embarazo; padre de 25 años, sano salvo paresia congénita de los músculos externos del ojo izquierdo. _________________________________________________________________________________
