RESUMO
Introduction: Chemical substances are important causes of gastrointestinal tract injuries and usually affect two groups of patients: children under 5 years of age and adults who attempt suicide. Its effects can range from necrosis to perforation of the digestive tract, which can affect the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach. The main complication of accidental caustic ingestion is esophageal stricture. The frequency with which esophageal strictures appear ranges from 15% to 35% and is related to the degree of injury induced by the ingested agent. They may become symptomatic by the second or third week after a latent repair phase or, in other cases, months or years after ingestion. Different forms of treatment have been applied to treat caustic esophageal strictures, and endoscopic dilation is the first line, with successful results in 60% to 80% of patients. If these are not effective, surgical treatment for esophageal replacement is indicated. Clinical Case: A clinical case of a 48-year-old male patient with no chronic degenerative history is presented, who began suffering after accidental ingestion of caustic substance 4 months ago with dysphagia to liquids and solids, for which he is protocolized in our unit for definitive surgical resolution by gastric pull-up. Conclusions: Although associated with high rates of anastomotic stricture, transhiatal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up with cervical anastomosis are safe procedures for the treatment of caustic esophageal strictures.
Introducción: las sustancias químicas son causas importantes de lesiones del tracto gastrointestinal y suelen afectar a dos grupos de pacientes: los niños menores de 5 años y los adultos que intentan el suicidio. Sus efectos pueden variar, desde la necrosis hasta la perforación del tubo digestivo, que puede afectar la boca, faringe, esófago y estómago. La principal complicación de la ingesta accidental de cáusticos es la estenosis esofágica. La frecuencia con la que aparecen las estenosis esofágicas oscila entre el 15 y el 35% y se relaciona con el grado de lesión inducida por el agente ingerido. Pueden hacerse sintomáticas hacia la segunda o tercera semanas después de una fase latente de reparación o, en otros casos, meses o años después de la ingesta. Diferentes formas de tratamiento se han aplicado para tratar las estenosis esofágicas por cáusticos, y en primera línea está la dilatación endoscópica, con resultados exitosos en el 60 a 80% de los pacientes. Si estas no son efectivas se indica el tratamiento quirúrgico de reemplazo esofágico. Caso clínico: se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente masculino de 48 años de edad sin antecedentes crónico-degenerativos, el cual inicia padecimiento tras la ingesta accidental de sustancia cáustica hacía 4 meses, con disfagia a líquidos y sólidos, por lo que es protocolizado en nuestra unidad para resolución quirúrgica definitiva mediante ascenso gástrico. Conclusiones: aunque se asocia con tasas altas de estenosis anastomótica, la esofagectomía transhiatal y el ascenso gástrico con anastomosis cervical son procedimientos seguros para el tratamiento de estenosis esofágicas por sustancias cáusticas.

BACKGROUND: Short esophagus is a disability to obtain a proper portion of abdominal esophagus, thus a lengthening technique is required. Collis approach is the best option. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate effectiveness of laparoscopic Collis-Nissen approach in children. METHOD: Retrospective and descriptive case series performed in children with reflux and short esophagus, Collis esophagoplasty was carried out with stapler, together with fundoplication. Age, symptomatology, surgical background, oral nutrition beginning, hospital stay, complications and reflux control were recorded. RESULTS: Eight children, 4-15 years old were treated from 2005 to 2017. Three of them with slipped fundoplication background and two with esophageal atresia. The rest of the children had no background, two of them with stenosis. Symptoms; cough 8/8, abdominal pain 5/8, dysphagia 3/8. Without complications. Oral nutrition beginning at the 5th day. Up to 10 years follow-up, with complete remission of the symptomatology in 6 years. DISCUSSION: Since a true short esophagus diagnosis depends on transurgical findings, pediatric surgeons should notice this entity when practicing any antireflux procedure. Laparoscopic Collis-Nissen approach is safe and efficient in these patients.
ANTECEDENTES: El esófago corto es la imposibilidad de obtener una porción adecuada de esófago abdominal, por lo que se requiere alguna técnica de alargamiento. La mejor opción es el procedimiento de Collis. OBJETIVO: Demostrar la eficacia del procedimiento de Collis-Nissen por laparoscopía en niños. MÉTODO: Estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo, serie de casos, niños con reflujo y esófago corto, esofagoplastía de Collis con engrapadora y funduplicatura. Se analizaron edad, sintomatología, antecedentes quirúrgicos, tiempo quirúrgico, inicio de vía oral, tiempo de hospitalización, complicaciones y control del reflujo. RESULTADOS: De 2005 a 2017 se trataron ocho niños de 4 a 15 años. De ellos, tres con antecedente de funduplicatura deslizada y dos con antecedente de atresia esofágica. El resto sin antecedentes, dos con estenosis. Síntomas; tos 8/8, dolor abdominal 5/8, disfagia 3/8. Sin complicaciones. Inició de vía oral al quinto día. Seguimiento de hasta 10 años, con remisión total de la sintomatología en seis casos. DISCUSIÓN: Debido a que el diagnóstico de esófago corto verdadero depende de los hallazgos transoperatorios, los cirujanos pediatras deben reconocer esta condición al momento de practicar cualquier procedimiento antirreflujo. El procedimiento de Collis-Nissen laparoscópico es una opción segura y eficaz en estos pacientes.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate clinical, endoscopic, and pH-impedance measures in a cohort of children with esophageal atresia and concomitant eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and compared it with disease-matched controls, to identify predictive factors for the development of EoE and esophageal stricture. STUDY DESIGN: We reviewed 63 patients with esophageal atresia assessed for refractory upper gastrointestinal symptoms between January 2015 and September 2017 at 2 tertiary referral centers. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and pH-impedance monitoring. Based on esophageal histology, patients were classified as (1) esophageal atresia without evidence of esophagitis; (2) esophageal atresia with evidence of esophagitis (including esophageal eosinophilia not meeting the criteria for EoE); (3) esophageal atresia with concomitant EoE. Age and sex matched patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease were used as disease controls. RESULTS: The presence of atopy and peripheral eosinophilia at baseline were significantly associated with EoE (P < .05). Although there was a tendency toward an increased number of strictures in patients with esophageal atresia-EoE, this did not reach statistical significance (P = .06). Higher esophageal acid exposure time and lower baseline impedance values were significantly associated with eosinophilic infiltration (P < .05 and P < .01, respectively). Using logistic regression analysis, the presence of mucosal eosinophilia was the most predictive factor for stricture formation (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: A history of atopy and the presence of peripheral eosinophilia in patients with esophageal atresia are predictive factors for the development of EoE, which in turn is a predictive factor for stricture occurrence. Higher esophageal acid exposure time and lower baseline impedance are associated with esophageal eosinophilic infiltration, suggesting their value in selecting which patients with esophageal atresia should undergo endoscopic examination.

La estenosis esofágica congénita es una patología infrecuente y no existe un tratamiento estandarizado. Se evaluó el diagnóstico, tratamiento y evolución de 11 pacientes con estenosis esofágica congénita tratados en nuestro centro. El síntoma más frecuente fue la disfagia. La edad al momento del diagnóstico varió entre 1 día y 14 años (media= 4,7 años). El esofagograma confirmó el diagnóstico. Cinco pacientes presentaron malformaciones asociadas. Cuatro pacientes fueron tratados quirúrgicamente y siete, con dilataciones. La histopatología identificó tres de tipo fibromuscular y una con restos traqueobronquiales. Todos evolucionaron favorablemente con un seguimiento promedio de 4,5 años. Las dilataciones fueron efectivas en la mayoría de los pacientes que se trataron por este método.
Congenital esophageal stenosis is a very rare condition and there is no standard treatment. We report the diagnosis, treatment and outcome of 11 patients with this condition managed at our institution. The most common symptom was dysphagia. The age at diagnosis was between 1 day and 14 years (mean age: 4.7 years). The esophagogram confirmed the diagnosis. Five patients presented associated anomalies. Four patients received surgical treatment and 7 only balloon dilatations. Pathologic examinations showed 3 fibromuscular stenosis and one with tracheobronchial remnants. All patients had a good outcome with a mean follow up of 4.5 years. Balloon dilatations were the definitive treatment in most of the patients.

The purpose of this article is to review the most frequent conditions associated with esophageal strictures on esophagogram. The most common causes include caustic ingestion, radiation therapy, malignancy, extrinsic compression, gastroesophageal reflux disease, infectious esophagitis, systemic diseases and membranes and rings. Adequate characterization of the stricture is necessary for formulation of the best diagnostic hypothesis and can be used to distinguish between malignant and non-malignant conditions. (AU)

Caustic ingestion is a major health concern in both developed and developing countries, that may lead to serious esophageal injury. The clinical presentation of caustic ingestion in children vary from asymptomatic to serious and fatal sequelae, such as perforation and stricture formation. OBJECTIVE: Due to the lack of a comprehensive study in our area, this study has evaluated clinical and endoscopic manifestations and complications of caustic ingestion in children in south of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, we reviewed 75 children with caustic ingestion who admitted in Nemazee Hospital of Shiraz University of Medical Science during 6 years (2006-2011). Sign and symptoms were recorded for each case. RESULTS: The most common symptoms were dysphagia, oral lesions, vomiting, and drooling. Esophageal injuries were detected in both acid and alkali ingestion, but gastric injuries was significantly more in acid ingestion. During follow up period, 20% of all cases developed esophageal stricture. CONCLUSION: Dysphagia, oral lesions, vomiting, and drooling were the most common findings.Esophageal stricture was found in 20% of cases during 3 months of follow up.

La ingestión de cáusticos es una gran preocupación de salud tanto en países desarrollados como en vías de desarrollo, que puede llevar a lesiones esofágicas graves. La presentación clínica de la ingestión de cáusticos en niños varía desde asintomática hasta tener secuelas fatales, como perforación y/o estenosis. Objetivo: Debido a la ausencia de estudios en nuestra área, este estudio ha evaluado las manifestaciones clínicas, endoscópicas y las complicaciones de la ingesta de cáusticos en niños en el sur de Irán. Materiales y métodos: En estudio retrospectivo, revisamos 75 niños con ingesta de cáusticos que ingresaron al Nemazee Hospital of Shiraz University of Medical Science durante 6 años (2006-2011). Los signos y síntomas fueron recolectados para cada caso. Resultados: Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron disfagia, lesiones orales, vómitos y salivación. Las lesiones esofágicas se detectaron tanto en ingestión de ácido como de álcali, pero las lesiones gástricas fueron definitivamente más frecuentes con la ingestión de ácidos. Durante el periodo de seguimiento el 20% de los casos desarrolló estrechez esofágica. Conclusión: La disfagia, lesiones orales, vómitos y salivación fueron los hallazgos más comunes. La estrechez esofágica se encontró en el 20% de los casos durante los tres meses de seguimiento de los pacientes.
