Histopathologic profile of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula

Management of congenital esophageal stenosis associated with esophageal atresia and its impact on postoperative esophageal stricture

“…It has been reported earlier that CES can affect the anastomotic site [3,6] or distal to it [2,7,8]. The diagnosis of CES at the anastomotic site can be confirmed by means of histological examination of specimens obtained from the tips of the esophageal pouches during primary repair of EA [3,6]. CES distal to the anastomotic site is suspected by a segmental, smooth circumferential narrowing in the distal esophagus 2-6 cm above the gastroesophageal junction during esophagogram.…”

“…In a study on 61 patients with CES, 29 had associated EA [5]. CES can affect the anastomotic site [3,6] or distal to it [2,7,8]. The incidence of anastomotic esophageal stricture (ES) after repair of EA ranges from 18 to 50% [9,10].…”

Chondroepithelial Choristoma: A Rare Cause of Congenital Esophageal Stenosis

“…A definitive diagnosis is only achieved through histopathological examination of the resected esophageal segment, which includes the presence of cartilage, seromucous glands, and pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium [ 4 ]. Surgical excision, either by resection of the stenotic region or by enucleation of the cartilaginous remnants, is the recommended treatment approach [ 1 , 5 ].…”
