Abstract
This is a report of one year and 9 months old boy with a congenital cervical esophageal membrane stenosis. Typical symptoms consisting of reccurrent choking, cyanotic episode during the feeding and dysphagia with semi solid or solid foods were presented. Cine- or video-esophagram with bottle feeding of Barium was very valuable for the diagnosis. Esophageal endoscopy was carried out for diagnosis and treatment. The membrane was excised endoscopically with an electro surgical unit and bouginage was added. Ten cases of congenital esophageal membrane stenosis have been reported in Japanese literature but the case with the cervical esophageal stenosis has not been reported.
