| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the etiology of Trachea-esophageal fistula, esophageal diverticulum and esophageal web/ring? | Congenital |
| Aspiration pneumonia in the infant | Trachea-esophageal fistula |
| This causes halitosis | Espohageal Diverticulum |
| This is associated with iron-deficiency anemia and causes dysphagia | esophageal web/ring |
| Motor dysfunction of the esophagus | Dysphagia |
| dysfunction of striated muscled of the upper espohagus causes this | Dysphagia |
| A skeletal muscle disorder such as myasthenia gravis will cause what? | dysphagia |
| A neurological disorder such as stroke will cause what? | Dysphagia |
| A peripheral neuropathy such as diabetes mellitus or alcoholism will cause what? | Dysphagia |
| Impaired lower esophageal sphincter | Achalasia |
| Achalasia will present with what? | absence of peristalsis in the upper esophagus, food is retained and the esophageal dilation is proximal to the LES |
| This is associated with loss or absence of ganglion cells in the esophageal myyenteric plexus | Achalasia |
| Fibrosis in the esophagus along with the dermis | Scleroderma of the esophagus |
| Herniation of the stomach through the esophageal hiatus in the diaphragm | Hiatal Hernia |
| Upward herniation of the gastric mucosa above the diaphragm | Sliding hernia |
| Upward herniation of the stomach by the side of the esophagus | Paraesophageal hernia |
| What are signs/symptoms of Hiatal Hernias? | Heartburn, dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflex |
| This is caused by regurgitation of gastric contents | Reflex esophagitis |
| This is caused by agents that decrease the pressure of the LES | Reflex esophagitis |
| Alcohol, chocolate, fatty foods, cigarette smoking, pregnancy and estrogen therapy will all do what? | decrease the pressure of the LES |
| This is commonly found in immunocompromised patients | Candidal Esophagitis |
| Signs and Symptoms of this include dysphagia and odynophagia | candidal esophagitis |
| Occurs in accidental (children) or attempted (adults) poisoning by lye or strong acids | Chemical esophagitis |
| As a result of chronic GE reflux, the normal stratified squamous epithelium of the LE is replaced by columnar epithelium of the stomach | Barrett's Esophagus |
| This disease may predispose a patient to adenocarcinoma | Barrett's Esophagus |
| Varicosity of esophageal veins at the lower third | Esophageal Varices |
| This is a hallmark of portal hypertension | Esophageal Varices |
| patient history of someone with esophageal varices includes what? | cirrhosis |
| This disease causes hematemesis | Esophageal Varices |
| Severe retching at the GE junction associated with alcoholism | Mallory Weiss Syndrome |
| This will present as "cork screw" or "rosary" esophagus in the barium meal series | Diffuse esophageal spasm |
| Diffuse esophageal spasm is caused by what? | Muscular thickening that causes spasm |
| Benign tumor of the esophagus | leiomyoma |
| Malignant tumors of the esophagus include what? | squamous cell carcinoma (around the world), adenocarcinoma (US) |
| Risk factors for developing a squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus? | cigarette smoking and alcohol |
| Risk factor for developing adenocarcinoma of the esophagus? | Barrette's esophagus |
| dysphagia and cachexia are clinical findings for what? | tumors of the esophagus |
