BACKGROUND: Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) in adults is a rare disorder that can present as achalasia, particularly in the distal esophagus. We describe the salient features of CES in adults and identify the feasibility and short-term outcomes of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for CES.
METHODS: In this retrospective, single-center case series, we included 6 patients with a "misdiagnosis" of achalasia established elsewhere, ultimately diagnosed with CES and referred to our institution for POEM. Symptom improvement (clinical success rate), defined as an Eckardt Symptom Score (ESS) of <3 at 2-month follow up was assessed.
RESULTS: Six patients (median age: 40 [range: 18-58] years; 4 males) were included. A long-standing history of dysphagia, ring-shaped stenosis on endoscopic examination, "lopsided hourglass" sign on barium esophagogram, and high-resolution manometry findings indicated by a compartmentalized intrabolus pressure pattern with distinction between the stenotic area and the lower esophageal sphincter were the salient features identified. POEM could not be completed in the first 2 cases due to technical challenges. All subsequent 4 patients who underwent successful POEM, exhibited improved ESS of ≤3 (clinical success rate 100%) at 2 months post-POEM.
CONCLUSIONS: Along with identification of salient features on several diagnostic modalities, a differential diagnosis of CES in adults must be considered in patients presenting with long-standing history of dysphagia arising from childhood and persisting into adulthood. Although favorable short-term outcomes of POEM were achieved, further evaluation is still warranted, and an inexperienced operator should not attempt POEM on CES patients due to its technical difficulties.
