Gastric mucosa heterotopia of the proximal esophagus as a cause of respiratory distress in a newborn: case report
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Heterotopy of the gastric mucosa of the proximal esophagus (HMGEP) is a poorly understood and probably underdiagnosed clinical entity due to the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa islands in the proximal esophagus. Although it is usually an asymptomatic entity, it sometimes generates pharyngolaryngeal symptoms, and infrequently it can be associated with complications such as stenosis, ulcers and perforation. We present the case of a new born who manifests early with respiratory distress secondary to HMGEP, requiring orotracheal intubation and subsequent ablative laser therapy, with which the patient gradually recovers.
