Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica is a hereditary blistering disorder in which the mucosal surface of the esophagus is frequently involved in addition to skin. Blister formation after minor trauma leads to erosions, ulcerations, scarring, and stricture formation in the esophagus and causes dysphagia. There is no definitive medical management for esophageal lesions. Colonic interposition has considerable mortality and morbidity, while surgical or endoscopic bougienage is not recommended because it causes further trauma to the esophagus, which accelerates stricture formation, and has a high risk of perforation. Herein we report a case of esophageal stricture successfully treated with repeated balloon dilatations.

D002404 Catheterization Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions. Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
D003680 Deglutition Disorders Difficulty in SWALLOWING which may result from neuromuscular disorder or mechanical obstruction. Dysphagia is classified into two distinct types: oropharyngeal dysphagia due to malfunction of the PHARYNX and UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; and esophageal dysphagia due to malfunction of the ESOPHAGUS.

D016108 Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica Form of epidermolysis bullosa characterized by atrophy of blistered areas, severe scarring, and nail changes. It is most often present at birth or in early infancy and occurs in both autosomal dominant and recessive forms. All forms of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa result from mutations in COLLAGEN TYPE VII, a major component fibrils of BASEMENT MEMBRANE and EPIDERMIS.
