The endoscopic view of the multi-ringed esophagus readily explains why the term "tracheal esophagus" is applicable. This entity may be undiagnosed until dysphagia and impactions secondary to strictures occur in the young male. Several factors point to a congenital rather than an acquired disorder. Treatment consists of slow, progressive dilatations that are repeated for recurrent dysphagia.
多环食管的内镜视图很容易解释为什么“气管食管”这个术语适用。在年轻男性出现吞咽困难和继发于狭窄的食团嵌塞之前，这个实体可能未被诊断出来。有几个因素表明这是一种先天性而非后天性疾病。治疗方法是进行缓慢、渐进性的扩张，对于复发性吞咽困难需反复进行。
