ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 42 años, obesa, con reflujo gastroesofágico patológico (RGEP) y una hernia hiatal por deslizamiento diagnosticada el año 2004. Desde entonces ha recibido omeprazol en forma discontinuada. Durante el 2007 los síntomas de RGEP se hacen más intensos e intolerables el último mes, con aumento de la pirosis, epigastralgia y dolor al pecho. La panendoscopia demuestra alteraciones características de esofagitis eosinofílica con aspecto anillado del esófago, surcos longitudinales y grumos blanquecinos. Las biopsias escalonadas del esófago confirman el diagnóstico con más de 20 eosinófilos intraepiteliales por campo de mayor aumento (CMA) y las biopsias de estómago y duodeno prácticamente no presentan eosinófilos. Las claves para el diagnóstico endoscópico e histopatológico se cumplen perfectamente en este caso.


We present an obese, 42 year-old lady, with gastro-esophageal reflux and a sliding hiatal hernia diagnosed in 2004. Since then she has been treated with Omeprazole. Since 2007 the gastro-esophageal reflux symptoms have become more severe. By a month ago the symptoms became intolerable with increased heartburn, epigastric and chest pain. The upper endoscopy showed characteristic changes of eosinophilic esophagitis with esophageal ringed appearance, longitudinal ridges and whitish spots. Serial biopsies of the esophagus confirmed the diagnosis with more than 20 intraepithelial eosinophils per field higher magnification (CMA) and biopsies of stomach and duodenum showed practically no eosinophils. The keys to the endoscopic and histopathological diagnosis are fulfilled in this case.
