Esophagitis dissecans superficialis (EDS) is a rare but benign disease of the esophagus often identified endoscopically by sloughing of the superficial esophageal mucosa. We present an asymptomatic 66-year-old patient found to have EDS in the setting of Barrett's esophagus. The association of EDS with Barrett's esophagus has not been previously reported. He was initiated on proton pump inhibitor therapy with rapid and complete resolution of the endoscopic abnormality. This case illustrates the importance of identification of EDS as prognosis relies on prompt diagnosis and treatment.
食管浅层分离性食管炎(EDS)是一种罕见但良性的食管疾病,通常通过食管浅层黏膜脱落进行内镜诊断。我们报告了一例无症状的 66 岁患者,在 Barrett 食管的背景下发现 EDS。EDS 与 Barrett 食管的关联以前没有报道过。他开始接受质子泵抑制剂治疗,内镜异常迅速完全缓解。本病例说明识别 EDS 的重要性,因为其预后依赖于及时诊断和治疗。
