A 55-year-old-female was admitted for the evaluation of mass shadow on chest film. She complained of fever, chilling, cough, and whitish sputum. She did not give any history of choking or coughing when she ate. The chest CT showed lung aoocess in right lower lobe with extension of infiltration and air shadow in mediastinum. The esophagoscopy and esophagography were performed to find the cause of mediastinal infiltration, and bronchoesophageal fistula was detected in esophagography. The patient complained of severe chilling and febrile sensation after esophagography, mediastinitis aggravated by thin barium was suggested clinically. So, surgical drainage of lung abscess and thin barium was done urgently. One month after operation, follow-up of esophagoscopy and esophagography were done, the bronchoesophageal fistula was not detected.

본원 이비인후과에서 Achalasia(무이완증)라고 진단한 1예의 환자에 대하여 Mercury bongienage를 실시하여 좋은 치료 효과를 보았기에 보고하는 바이다. 본 환자는 25세의 처녀로써 5년 전부터 식후 흉골하불경감과 타액과다 등이 있어 약 이년 전에 모병원 내과에서 진찰결과 전폐에 심한 건성잡음을 지닌 기관지 천식이라는 추정하에 치료하였으나 포말상백색타액과 호흡곤란, 소화불량, 해수, 연하장애 등의 증상이 계속되어 본과에 문진해 와서 입원 후 Esophagography와 Esophagoscopy를 실시하였다. 그 결과 Esophagogram상 분문부의 심한 협착과 그 상부의 심한 확장을 볼 수 있었고, Esophagoscopy시 분문부에서는 관강을 찾을 수 없었고 그 대신 증대된 mocosal fold를 볼 수 있었고 식도벽의 궤양이나 종물은 발견할 수 없었다. 약 1개월간의 mercury fougienage 결과 많은 증세의 호전이 있었으며 육개월이 지난 현재도 양호한 상태로 특별한 호소없이 지내고 있다.

식도이물에 의한 식도천공은 날카로운 이물에 의한 예가 대부분이며 드물게 이물의 장기잔류에 의한다. 저자들은 8개월된 소아에서 한쪽 끝이 낚시모양으로 된 길이 20cm 굵기 3mm 정도의 철사를 연하하여 낚시 모양의 끝은 제1 식도협착부에서 식도를 천공하고 경부 좌측의 종창을 초래하였으며 철사의 반대쪽 끝은 입밖으로 나와 있는 흥미있는 식도이물 1례를 경 청하였다. 식도경검사하에서 이물제거를 시도하였으나 실패하여 경부절개하에 낚시모양의 끝은 잘라서 제거하고 나머지는 식도경검사하에 제거한 후 약 4주일동안 금식 및 tube feeding으로 치유되었다.

We experienced a case of leiomyoma on proximal thoracic esophagus. The patient, a 42-year-old female, noted the insidious onset of dysphagia and chest discomfort for 6 months. Esophagogram showed a smooth filling defect in upper third of thoracic esophagus, T1-T4 level and esophagoscopy revealed a firm mobile mass about 6cm in length with normal overlying mucosa. The lesion was approached the Rt. posterolateral thoracotomy through 4th ICS and enucleated of tumor without difficulty. The patient`s hospital course was uncomplicated.

The five patients with leiomyoma of esophagus were treated from 1976, to 1990. The patients were 4 men and 1 woman whose ages ranged from 28 to 53 years. One of them was asymptomatic, two had mainly dysphagia and the others complained indigestion and epigastric discomfort. There was no relationship between the severity of symptoms and the size of tumor. The preoperative diagnosis was made by esophagoscopy and esophagogram, and all of them were treated by thoracotomy and enucleation. There was no postoperative complication and the results were excellent.

Pharyngoesophageal diverticulum is a well-known disease entity but is seldomly reported in Korean literature. Recently the authors experienced two cases of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum. A 46 year old female and a 51 year old female patients were admitted due to foreign body sensation in esophagus and dysphagia. Preoperative esophagography and esophagoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum in each patient. The authors performed one-stage pharyngoesophageal diverticulectomy and myotomy. Postoperative esophagography revealed no diverticulum or stenosis and symptoms were markedly relieved.

Perforation of the esophagus is an uncommon problem with significant morbidity and mortality. In children undergoing endoscopy, the risk of perforation is higher when interventional endoscopy is performed. The clinical features depend upon the site of esophageal perforation. Opinions vary regarding the optimal treatment protocol, and the role of conservative management in this context is not well established. Esophageal perforation that occurs as a consequence of endoscopy in children requires careful evaluation and management, as outlined in this article.
