Abstract
The endoscopic view of the multi-ringed esophagus readily explains why the term “tracheal esophagus” is applicable. This entity may be undiagnosed until dysphagia and impactions secondary to strictures occur in the young male. Several factors point to a congenital rather than an acquired disorder. Treatment consists of slow, progressive dilatations that are repeated for recurrent dysphagia.
