Ringed esophagus (feline esophagus) in childhood.
Feline esophagus is a term describing a specific radiological and endoscopic appearance of the esophagus that is attributed to chronic esophagitis. To date only one report has described this appearance in childhood. We present a histologically documented case of this entity including follow-up studies after therapy for esophagitis.
