Reflux esophagitis in distal esophagus
Esophagus
Reflux esophagitis may occur in association with an active duodenal ulcer since both are manifestations of excess and secretion. BARRETT'S ESOPHAGUS is a condition in which the tissue lining the esophagus—the muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach—is replaced by tissue that is similar to the lining of the intestine.
Reflux Esophagitis: Definition, Epidemiology, Etiology
Reflux Esophagitis. Reflux esophagitis . occurs when the amount of gastric acid that refluxes into the esophagus exceeds the normal limit, causing symptoms with or without associated esophageal mucosal injury. Normally, the LES prevents reflux if it is located within the abdomen and the stomach empties in an appropriate amount of time ...

Gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is the involuntary passage of gastric contents into the esophagus. GER is a physiological event occurring in every individual several times during the day, particularly after meals. Most reflux episodes are asymptomatic, brief and limited to the distal esophagus.

Barrett’s esophagus is a complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease, it is clinically important not only as a marker of severe reflux, but also as a potential precursor of cancer of the esophagus. Diagnostic upper endoscopy in GERD may reveal either a normal or an abnormal esophagus characterized by ulcers, erosions, exudates, and ...

Type I: adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus, with or without infiltration of the EGJ from above. Type II: true carcinoma of the gastric cardia, arising from the cardiac epithelium or short segments with intestinal metaplasia at the EGJ. Type III: subcardial gastric carcinoma, which infiltrates the EGJ and distal esophagus from below

Barium swallow in scleroderma - dilated, flaccid esophagus. Scleroderma often causes severe LES hypotension that is manifested radiographically as a patulous esophagogastric junction. A patulous junction is not seen in this patient, because severe reflux esophagitis has resulted in a peptic stricture with thickened folds in the distal esophagus .

The abdominal esophagus is included in the lower thoracic esophagus. The macroscopic EGJ often does not correspond to the junction of esophageal squamous mucosa and columnar mucosa because of the common finding in esophageal resection specimens of glandular mucosa involving the distal esophagus.

The rate of erosive esophagitis in endoscopy and the rate of typical GERD symptoms are increasing for the past 2 decades. In our country, gastric cancer screening is a common medical practice. In the screening setting, the rate of erosive esophagitis is about 10 %, and the rate GERD symptoms is about 10 %. Overlap is about 3 %.
