title: Esophageal stenosis in children.
abstract: This article focuses on the special features of esophageal stenosis which pertain to children. In order to focus on stenoses intrinsic to the esophagus, esophageal stenosis due to extrinsic compression is excluded. While the causes of esophageal stenosis may be grouped as either congenital or acquired, congenital causes account for less than 5% of cases.
