Background: Congenital esophageal atresia isn\u2019t uncommon malformation in newborn emergency. Its consequence is loss the ability of eating and poly infection in lung as well as newborn respiratory insufficiency. Objectives:This study aims to learn about the clinical characteristics, radiological and some risk factors for mortality of the congenital esophageal atresia at National Hospital for Pediatric. Subjects and method:A descriptive and retrospective study was conducted on 68 cases with atresia of the esophagus, hospitalized in the National Hospital for Pediatrics for 3 years from 1st January 2003 to 31st December 2005. Results:64.7% of cases hospitalized at 1 day of life, positive diagnosis was 45.6% at levels 1 and 2. The greater part clinical signs appeared in the 12 hours of life. Combination congenital malformations was seen in25% congenital esophageal atresia. Type III was more frequent (85.3%). Underprivileged factors were weight <2500g at birth, with associated diseases (infection, malformation), balance disorder of acid - base, hydro - electronics, respiratory distress by ventilator supported, time for surgery after 3 days. Conclusion: A further study should be carried out for confirmation of clinical characteristics, radiological and some risk factors of congenital esophageal atresia to help doctor give out accurate diagnosis to cure the patients.\r\n', u'\r\n', u'

Capsule endoscopy can be a diagnostic option for patients with esophageal diseases who cannot tolerate esophagogastroduodenoscopy.Functional modifications of the capsule allow for thorough examination of the esophagus. Esophageal capsule endoscopy has so farfailed to show sufficient performance to justify the replacement of traditional endoscopy for the diagnosis of esophageal diseasesbecause the esophagus has a short transit time and common pathologies appear near the esophagogastric junction. However,technological improvements are being introduced to overcome the limitations of capsule endoscopy, which is expected to become agood alternative to conventional endoscopy.

Caustic esophageal burn is a common ailment in clinical practice. In some patients, scar stricture was formed in the late stage of injury, and it seriously undermined quality of life of the patients. We adopted various clinical interventions at an early stage in order to relieve and alleviate the formation and development of corrosive esophageal stricture as a result of chemical injury as well as to avoid invasive operations to make it more acceptable for the patients. This article summarized the progress in etiology, pathological changes, identification, early prevention, and surgical management of corrosive esophageal stricture.

During endoscopy, most endoscopists insert endoscopes into the esophagus without visual aid in order to minimize the discomfort to patients. However, studies have shown that visual guided insertion imposes little discomfort, is safe and can increase the diagnostic rate of abnormal pathology of the throat. As for the treatment of hypopharyngeal lesions, cases of endoscopic treatment are rare and any guidelines have not been clearly defined yet. However, endoscopic treatment may be feasible in selected cases. Several procedures, such as endoscopic mucosal resection with cap (EMR-C) and saline injection polypectomy can be applied. We experienced seven patients who had benign hypopharyngeal masses that were removed endoscopically without serious complications. Compared to surgical treatment, endoscopic removal of the benign hypopharyngeal tumors does not require general anesthesia; it is simple, less invasive and less costly. Therefore, endoscopy should be regarded as a treatment option. However, further studies are required before widespread application of endoscopic removal for the definitive treatment of hypopharyngeal masses, including malignancies.

The clinical manifestations of the disease include dysphagia, foreign body sensation in pharyngeal, retrosternal pain and regurgitation. Physical examination showed a sausage-shaped mass hanging outside the mouth, sometimes. CT scan demonstrated a benign placeholder in upper segment of esophagus. Surgery is the only way to achieve radical cure. Pathological examination: inflammtory fibroid polyp.
