| corkscrew oesophagus | <radiology> Diffuse oesophageal spasm, may be seen in tertiary oesophageal contractions (12 Dec 1998) |

| abdominal part of oesophagus | The part of the oesophagus inferior to the diaphragm. See: oesophagus. Synonym: pars abdominalis oesophagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| adenocarcinoma in Barrett's oesophagus | An adenocarcinoma arising in the lower third of the oesophagus that has become columnar cell lined (Barrett's mucosa) due to gastroesophageal reflux. (05 Mar 2000) |
| barrett oesophagus | <radiology> Replacement of squamous epithelium with columnar metaplasia in lower oesophagus, incidence: 2-10% of patients with reflux oesophagitis, associated with adenocarcinoma in 8-10% findings: large deep ulceration with or without stricture at distal/mid oesophagus, fine reticular pattern, commonly reflux, columnar epithelium secretes Tc-99m pertechnetate (12 Dec 1998) |
| barrett's oesophagus | A disorder in which the lining of the oesophagus undergoes cellular changes in response to chronic irritation and inflammation of reflux oesophagitis. This condition is more common in men than women. The patient with Barrett's oesophagus is at an increased risk of developing cancer of the oesophagus. Symptoms are similar to those of reflux oesophagitis and include heartburn, difficulty swallowing and pain relief with antiacid use or eating. The diagnosis of Barrett's is made by a biopsy of the oesophageal mucosa through a endoscope. Treatment includes control of reflux disease, weight reduction and avoidance of alcohol, tobacco, fatty foods and lying flat after eating. Close follow-up is recommended to be certain the individual does not develop cancer of the oesophagus. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bullous diseases of oesophagus | <radiology> Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica, autosomal recessive, presents in infancy or later life, epidermal-dermal separation, with or without anal strictures, Treatment: conservative, soft diet, benign mucous membrane (cicatricial) pemphigoid, not pemphigus vulgaris, not bullous pemphigoid, females (2:1), elderly (12 Dec 1998) |
| cancer, oesophagus | Cancer of the swallowing tube that passes from the throat to the stomach. The risk of cancer of the oesophagus is increased by long-term irritation of the oesophagus, such as with smoking, heavy alcohol intake, and Barrett's oesophagitis. Cancer of the oesophagus can cause difficulty and pain with swallowing solid food. Diagnosis of oesophageal cancer can be made by barium X-ray of the oesophagus, and confirmed by endoscopy with biopsy of the cancer tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| candidiasis of oesophagus | <radiology> Findings: long oesophageal segments involved (more common in lower 1/2), 1-2 mm nodular filling defects with linear orientation (plaques), cobble stone: mucosal nodularity in early stage, shaggy, fuzzy, serrated contour (from pseudomembranes, erosions, ulcerations, intramural hemmorhage), narrowed lumen (spasm, pseudomembrane, oedema), intramural diverticulosis, sluggish/absent peristalsis Differential diagnosis: reflux oesophagitis, herpes oesophagitis, acute caustic ingestion, intramural pseudotics, squamous papillomatosis, glycogen acanthosis, Barrett oesophagus, superficial spreading carcinoma, epidermolysis bullosa, varices diagnostic sensitivity: endoscopy (97%), double contrast (88%), single contrast (55%) (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiac glands of oesophagus | Gland's located in the lamina propria of the uppermost and lowermost levels of the oesophagus; they resemble cardiac gland's of the stomach in that they are branched tubules of mucous cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mega-oesophagus | <radiology> Achalasia, Chagas disease, idiopathic pseudo-obstruction, amyloidosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, presbyesophagus (uncommon), oesophageal dysmotility (usually mild to moderate dilatation) (12 Dec 1998) |
| cervical oesophagus | The part of the oesophagus that goes through the neck. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cervical part of oesophagus | The part of the oesophagus located in the neck. See: oesophagus. Synonym: pars cervicalis oesophagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenitally short oesophagus | <radiology> Very rare findings: nonreducible intrathoracic gastric segment, short straight oesophagus, circular narrowing at GE junction frequently with ulcer, GE reflux see also: hiatal hernia (12 Dec 1998) |
| muscular coat of oesophagus | Muscular layer of the oesophageal wall. Synonym: tunica muscularis oesophagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stricture, oesophagus, acute | A narrowing or closure of the normal opening of the swallowing tube leading to the stomach, usually caused by scarring from acid irritation. Acute, complete obstruction of the oesophagus occurs when food (usually meat) is lodged in the oesophageal stricture. Patients experience chest pain, and are unable to swallow saliva. Attempts to relieve the obstruction by inducing vomiting at home are usually unsuccessful. Patients with complete oesophageal obstruction can breathe, and are not at any risk of suffocation. Endoscopy is usually employed to retrieve the meat and relieve the obstruction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stricture of the oesophagus, chronic | A narrowing or closure of the normal opening of the swallowing tube leading to the stomach, usually caused by scarring from acid irritation. A common complication of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd). Several procedures are available for stretching (dilating) the strictures without having to resort to surgery. One of the procedures involves placing a deflated balloon across the stricture at the time of endoscopy. The balloon is then inflated, thereby opening the narrowingcaused by the stricture. Another method involves inserting tapered dilators of different sizes through the mouth into the oesophagus to dilate the stricture. (12 Dec 1998) |
