Abstract

Introduction: Congenital esophageal stricture (CES) is a rare pathology characterized by an intrinsic narrowing of the esophageal lumen due to a structural wall abnormality. The CES can be classified etiologically into 3 categories: tracheobronchial remnants (RTB), fibromuscular hypertrophy (MFT) and diaphragmatic membrane (MD). Dysphagia is the initial clinical manifestation, which begins with the introduction of solid foods into the infant diet. Other common symptoms include vomiting, low growth, and recurrent lower respiratory infections. Esophagography is the most common complementary exam for the diagnosis of CES. Description of the case: A.G.B.F., male, black, 2 years old, with diagnostic hypothesis closed at 17 months when was taken to medical attention at the Hospital da Criança with complaints of gagging after eating, difficulty in eating solid foods, recurrent episodes of emesis and a severe low nutrition. He was referred to the Juvêncio Mattos Children's Hospital to perform a gastrostomy without antireflux procedure. Ten months later, the patient was admitted to the Maternal and Child Hospital Complex for esophagoplasty and esophagogastroanastomosis, evolving to hospital. Conclusion: Finally, it is concluded that therapeutic management should be carried out as soon as possible in order to avoid low nutrition and delayed growth.
