| Popis: | Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE) is an emerging cause of esophageal food impaction (EFI) not accounted for in previous studies. We sought to determine the causes of EFI in a recent cohort with recognition of EE. A retrospective chart review of all patients with EFI during the past 5 years was performed. Etiology was determined by endoscopy report, pathology results, and follow-up studies. A total of 85 EFIs occurred, in 79 patients (55 men, 30 women, age 18-100). The most common etiologies of EFI were Schatzki's ring (n = 18), peptic stricture (n = 18), EE (n = 9), esophagitis (n = 9), and no underlying diagnosis (n = 20). EE was significantly more frequent in men (P.025) and those50 years old (P.025). There was a significant difference in the age at which men (median age = 44) and women (median age = 71) present with EFI (P.001). The etiology of EFI differs significantly by age and gender. This information may be useful in evaluation and management of EFI. |
