title: [Esophageal stenosis and bullous epidermolysis. Endoscopic treatment].
abstract: Esophageal lesions are often present in congenital epidermolysis bullosa. Bullae formation, ulceration and oedema ultimately will lead to stricture formation. Surgery is useful only for slowly evolutive forms. To prevent the risk of developing complete occlusion to the human of the esophagus, dilatations are performed under endoscopic control, that allows through nutrition without risk of local complication.
