Case description

Eosinophilic esophagitis is a new disease commonly confused with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Because of different treatments, recognition of eosinophilic esophagitis is important. Eosinophilic esophagitis is an allergy-based disorder. It presents commonly in adults as long standing dysphagia, sometimes with food impaction. Radiography is useful but will miss subtle signs of eosinophilic esophagitis. Treatment options are limited to steroid formulations or avoidance of food allergens though compliance, particularly with elemental formulas, remains problematic.
