Regurgitation of esophageal contents is referred to as esophageal emesis or esophageal vomiting. It is most likely to be confused with symptoms arising from disease proximal or distal to the esophagus, particularly the latter. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between esophageal vomiting and typical vomiting, although in the former group, the regurgitated contents are ingested food and/or saliva; recognition of the exact site of the pathological disorder may necessitate investigation. A wide variety of investigations may be necessary. Disease processes to be considered in the diagnosis include congenital stricture, achalasia and other motility disorders of the esophagus, foreign-body impaction, and acquired strictures of the esophagus, such as peptic or corrosive strictures.
食管内容物反流被称为食管呕吐。它最容易与食管近端或远端疾病引起的症状相混淆，尤其是后者。因此，区分食管呕吐和典型呕吐很重要，尽管在前一组中，反流的内容物是摄入的食物和/或唾液；识别病理障碍的确切部位可能需要进行检查。可能需要进行各种各样的检查。诊断时需要考虑的疾病过程包括先天性狭窄、贲门失弛缓症和食管的其他动力障碍、异物嵌塞以及食管的后天性狭窄，如消化性或腐蚀性狭窄。
