[Esophageal cervical duplication revealed by stridor: a case report].
Esophageal duplications are rare malformations. They account for 15 to 20% of esophageal malformations. Duplications are cystic or, rarely, tubular. The location is thoracic in 95% of the cases. The clinical manifestations are mostly related to compression of the neighboring organs. Treatment is surgical. We report a case of esophageal duplication in a 22-month-old child; the major symptom was congenital stridor. The diagnosis of esophageal duplication was suspected at the chest computed tomography imaging study and confirmed after excision and pathologic examination.
