Congenital Esophageal Stenosis due to Tracheobronchial Remnants: A Case Report

Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a rare anomaly and etiology, with an incidence estimated at 1 per 25,000 to 50,000 live births. Congenital esophageal stenosis is due to either fibro muscular thickening, tracheobronchial remnants or membranous web. Congenital esophageal stenosis due to tracheobronchial remnants is most often located in the lower third of the esophagus and normally begins to show symptoms by the time when solids are added to the diet and endoscopic dilations are usually not successful and may even bare the risk of penetration of the esophageal wall.
