title: Congenital esophagostenosis.
abstract: By means of two of our own cases we report on congenital esophagostenosis which occurs in a proportion of 1:50,000. The typical clinical symptoms consist of frequent vomiting, regurgitation of undigested food particles which have no acid smell, and regurgitation of viscous mucus and saliva. In the last decade direct operative treatment has taken the place of primary bougienage therapy.
