Endoscopic management of tracheoesophageal prosthesis-induced esophageal mucosal bridge
ENDOSCOPY(2023)
Abstract
Esophageal mucosal bridge (EMB) is a rare, often incidental finding encountered during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). It can be of congenital origin, or occur secondarily to local esophageal trauma, radiation therapy, and various inflammatory conditions involving the esophageal mucosa [1]. While mostly asymptomatic, EMB can often result in dysphagia by causing luminal obstruction. We present a case of symptomatic EMB secondary to long-standing tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis (TEVP) that was successfully treated with endoscopic resection using a scissor-type dissection knife.
