Esophageal duplication cyst
MONDO:0015050A rare, congenital, non-syndromic esophageal malformation, most frequently located in the distal esophagus and usually diagnosed in childhood, characterized by tubular or spherical cystic masses that have a double layer of surrounding smooth muscle lined with squamous or enteric epithelium, are continuous or contiguous to the esophagus and may, or may not, communicate with the esophageal lumen. Patients are frequently asymptomatic, or could present with a wide range of symptoms including respiratory distress, failure to thrive, dysphagia, epigastric discomfort, vomiting, stridor, non-productive cough, and chest pain. Other more rare symptoms, such as cardiac arrhythmia, thoracic back pain, cystic hemorrgage and ulceration, and mediastinitis, have also been reported.

Botox injection could replace surgery for Post-Esophagectomy stomach issues
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a Botox injection into the stomach valve works as well as a surgical cut to prevent food from emptying too slowly after esophagus removal. About 170 adults having elective esophagectomy will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. Researchers w…

Swallow a tiny magnet: painless camera could replace endoscopy
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study tests a magnetically controlled capsule endoscope—a tiny camera you swallow—to painlessly screen the esophagus and stomach. Researchers will compare different swallowing protocols to see which gives the best view of the Z-line and other areas. 300 patients already sche…

New study aims to sharpen diagnosis of swallowing disorders
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study compares two techniques—esophageal manometry and EndoFLIP balloon measurements—to evaluate how well they assess swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). Researchers will enroll up to 1,000 patients with known esophageal conditions to see how these measurements relate to sy…
