Rare cause of dysphagia in children

Dysphagia in children is generally caused by strictures secondary to gastroesophageal reflux disease or post-repair of trachea-esophageal atresia/fistula

A four-year-old female presented with a history of dysphagia for solid food and vomiting of undigested food. Barium swallow showed esophageal duplication cyst, which was confirmed by esophagoscopy

Surgical resection was curative

Causes other than stricture or dysmotility should be considered in children with unrelenting dysphagia.
