title: Congenital oesophageal stenosis: an atypical presentation in a young woman.
abstract: Congenital oesophageal stenosis is a very rare disease that commonly occurs in infancy with male predominance. This report describes a highly unusual case of congenital oesophageal stenosis extended throughout the length of the oesophagus, without webs or tracheobronchial remnants in the oesophageal wall, with normal oesophageal motility and normal endosonography in an adult female.
