S-92 : A case of symptomatic Schatzki`s ring treated by endoscopic balloon dilatation

Lower esophageal (Schatzki`s) rings are found in 6-14% of routine barium radiographs. Even though most Schatzki rings are asymptomatic, they are considered to be the most common cause of episodic dysphagia for solids and food impaction in adults. The vast majority of symptomatic Schatzki ring are amendable to dilation. Esophageal dilation can be achieved by bouginage or balloon dilation. The successful diatation of Schatzki`s ring with balloon...
