TERAMOTO-MATSUBARA, Óscar et al. Acute dysphagia presentation and its association with esophagitis dissecans and concomitant diseases. A diagnostic challenge. Cir. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.87, n.5, pp.572-579.  Epub Nov 29, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.18000607.

Esophagitis dissecans (ESD) is an uncommon disease that is associated with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), candidiasis and/or drugs. We aim to characterize the clinical, endoscopic and histological damage of the mucosal in subjects with dysphagia, its relation to concomitant entities and the treatment response. This is a retrospective observational study in patients with dysphagia and esophageal mucosal damage We included 23 patients (mean age = 55 years) who had GERD symptoms, dysphagia and/or odynophagia. There were 10, 9 and 4 cases of esophagitis dissecans, desquamative/esfacelante (ESD/ES) and fibrostenotic, respectively. ESD/SE is a rare entity with variable clinical, endoscopic and histological spectrum. The association with GERD was frequent.

Keywords : Esophageal candidiasis; Dysphagia; Esophagitis dissecans; Eosinophilic esophagitis.
