Successful management of eosinophilic esophagitis with mometasone: an unusual therapeutic approach.

Abstract

Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic, immune-mediated esophageal condition characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa. This report discusses the case of a patient with EoE who showed significant clinical and histological improvement following treatment with mometasone, a corticosteroid rare used for this disease. Mometasone has shown promise due to its enhanced mucosal absorption and potent anti-inflammatory properties. In this case, the patient exhibited resolution of symptoms and marked reduction in endoscopic and histological involvement, suggesting that mometasone could serve as a viable alternative therapy in specific clinical scenarios.
