Vaping Induced Severe Erosive Esophagitis.

Abstract

Esophagitis can be attributed to several etiologies including gastroesophageal reflux disease, caustic ingestion, medication or pill induced, radiotherapy, infectious or eosinophilic disease. There are also new consumer items on the market which can cause harmful side effects, including erosive esophagitis. In this case, we present an otherwise healthy teenage male with a history of daily vape usage with a clinical presentation of odynophagia, who was subsequently diagnosed with vaping associated esophagitis. There is currently little to no data available on the occurrence of vaping-associated esophagitis, particularly in adolescents.
