title: [Inflammatory esophageal stenosis with intramural pseudodiverticulosis of the esophagus].
abstract: Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis is a very rare disease with unknown etiology, which especially affects male patients between 45 and 65 years. This disease is characterized by dilatation of the esophageal submucosal glands and their outlets. Stenosis caused by esophagitis due to intramural pseudodiverticulosis is found in most of the known patients. All patients presented with dysphagia, usually of long duration. The characteristic radiographic appearance is numerous intramural esophageal contrast-filled diverticulosis-like pouches--4 mm in depth.
