Congenital esophageal stenosis in adults: clinical and radiographic findings in seven patients.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and radiographic findings in seven adults with congenital esophageal stenosis.


CONCLUSIONS
In young or middle-aged individuals, particularly men with long-standing dysphagia, an upper or mid esophageal stricture with multiple ringlike constrictions is a characteristic appearance of congenital esophageal stenosis on double-contrast esophagography.
