Acquired Stenoses of the Esophagus in Children

Esophageal stricture is a relatively common condition of varying severity, most often secondary to an acquired esophageal injury. These acquired stenoses are quite peculiar in children, serious if they are of non-peptic origin: caustic stenoses, potentially rebellious and refractory and a real public health obsession; or anastomotic stenoses on atresia of the esophagus, an impromptu guest of successful atresia surgeries.
