Abstract
Esophageal disorders in children can result in significant morbidity. The most common esophageal disorder seen in children is gastroesophageal reflux. Other common disorders affecting the esophagus include peptic esophageal strictures, esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula, caustic and foreign body ingestions, achalasia, and cricopharyngeal achalasia. We discuss what is currently known about these common pediatric esophageal disorders with regard to pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic and treatment strategies.
