| description | Epidermolysis bullosa is a genetically transmitted disorder characterized by skin blistering and scarring after minor traumatism, involves also internal organs that are lined with squamous epithelium. Oesophageal stricture is a rare but often serious complication of epidermolysis bullosa causing dysphagia. We report a case of epidermolysis bullosa complicating by esophageal stricture which was successfully managed with endoscopic balloon dilatation without complications. This case illustrate an example of unusual but serious aetiology of dysphagia in children. |
