It is rare in children and the risk factors may include mental retardation, cerebral palsy, esophageal atresia, etc. Apart from corrosive ingestion, peptic stricture is the other leading cause of esophageal strictures in children. However, BE has not been well characterized in the pediatric population and in children presenting with esophageal strictures. A 16-year-old Indian boy presented with a history of gradually progressive dysphagia to solids (but not liquids) for 12 years along with heartburn and poor weight gain. Physical examination and routine blood investigations were unremarkable. Previously performed barium meal studies were suggestive of stricture in the mid and lower esophagus. Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy revealed a non-negotiable stricture with circumferential ulceration at 26 cm. The stricture was traversed using an ultrathin scope and the distal mucosa was found to be columnar. Biopsies revealed cardiac mucosa. The patient was treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and four series of segmental dilatations with Savary Gilliard esophageal dilators. Peptic strictures occurring in the mid-upper esophagus should raise concerns about BE or malignancy. Here, we report a case of peptic esophageal stricture in a child without neurodevelopmental or trachea-esophageal abnormalities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ijamh-2015-0106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,29]],"date-time":"2016-02-29T12:00:50Z","timestamp":1456747250000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Peptic esophageal stricture in an adolescent with Barrett\u2019s esophagus"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Sandeep","family":"Lamoria","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, PGIMER and Dr RML Hospital , New Delhi 110001 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arka","family":"De","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, PGIMER and Dr RML Hospital , New Delhi 110001 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Somya","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, PGIMER and Dr RML Hospital , New Delhi 110001 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brinder Mohan","family":"Singh Lamba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, PGIMER and Dr RML Hospital , New Delhi 110001 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vishal","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, PGIMER and Dr RML Hospital , New Delhi 110001 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025112800261270197_j_ijamh-2015-0106_ref_001_w2aab3b7b6b1b6b1ab1b5b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Spechler SJ, Fitzgerald RC, Prasad GA, Wang KK.
