Eosinophilic esophagitis

Eosinophilic esophagitis
A 14-month-old with failure to thrive and loose stools. Endoscopy demonstrates a thickened furrowed esophagus consistent with eosinophilic esophagitis. These patients commonly have dysphagia with, as well as without, evidence of stricture. Eosinophilic esophagitis is also a common cause of dysphagic in atopic school-aged children. Histology would demonstrate sheets of eosinophils in the lamina propria.
