Abstract

A male patient assisted to our gastroenterology consultation presenting difficulties to swallow since last night. We decided to make an urgent esophagoscopy and found a foreign body in distal esophagus. It also was observed a Schatzki´s mucous ring associated to a hiatal hernia Type II, with erythema and orange mucous clusters in the distal third. A biopsy was made and after receiving the histology we decided to study it in endoscopic surgery consultation. An anti-reflux technique was applied with a good evolution.
