Esophagus Flashcards
Symptoms in Johnson-DeMeester scoring system
1 heart burn 2 regurgitation 3 dysphasia
Complication of GERD
- Reflux esophagi’s * sliding hiatus hernia * stricture * shortening * Barret * carcinoma
Grade 3 of esophagi’s by endoscope
Erosion with circumferential loss of epithelium [ cobblestone ]
Grade 2 of esophagi’s by endoscope
Linear erosion, lined with granulation bleeds on touch
When symptoms of GERD are certain but endoscopy is normal, we use
24-hour pH monitoring
In manometer, we suspect GERDwhen LOS p→

Three physiological constrictions of esophagi’s
① cricopharyngeal ② aortic & bronchial ③ diaphragm sphincter.

Treatment of small benign esophagent tumor
Enucleation
Factors for squamous cell carcinoma
① tylosis ② lye stricture ③ achalasia @ plummer-vinson ⑤ short esophagi’s ⑥ esophagitis
Factors for Aden carcinoma
① Barret ② obesity ③ reflux estophitis ④ low socioeconomic ⑤ helicobacter pylori
