LATIC TALIC, Ezita; PLAZA ALMEIDA, Josefa  e  BALMASEDA SERRANO, Elena. Food impaction as a sign of Eosinophilic esophagitis. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2010, vol.3, n.2, pp.121-123. ISSN 2386-8201.

Eosinophilic esophagitis is currently an uncommon disease. Little is known on its natural progression, but if it remains untreated it may cause esophageal stenosis. We present a case of a 12 year old boy who came to the emergency department due to food impaction and who had a history of atopy and allergy, which are characteristic of this condition.

Palavras-chave : Esophagitis; Eosinophilia.
