Corrosive esophagitis in children. Assessment by the esophagogram
M. W. Stannard
The roentgenograms of 27 children aged 10 months to 13 years with
endoscopically confirmed corrosive esophagitis were reviewed. The initial
barium esophagogram showed 19 to have strictures. The length and
irregularity of the strictures were recorded and related to the severity of
the illness and the treatment required. In the remaining eight patients,
the initial study gave normal results, but two were later shown to have
developed strictures.
