Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD) is a rare disorder in adults, and even more in infants and children. It is characterized by the dilatation of the submucosal esophageal glands. The exact etiology and pathophysiology of EIPD is, however, unknown. Dysphagia is the predominant presenting symptom in both children and adults.
Here, we present a case of a boy with persistent dysphagia who had a thorough diagnostic workup and was eventually diagnosed with EIPD.
食管壁内假性憩室病（EIPD）在成人中较为罕见，在婴儿和儿童中更为罕见。其特征为食管黏膜下腺体的扩张。然而，EIPD 的确切病因和病理生理学尚不清楚。吞咽困难是儿童和成人的主要表现症状。
在此，我们报告了一例持续性吞咽困难的男孩病例，该男孩进行了全面的诊断检查，最终被诊断为 EIPD。
