ABSTRACT
Mediastinal fibrosis is uncommon but may result in entrapment and erosion of vital mediastinal structures by fibrous tissues. Idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis involved esophagus is very rare, and only a few cases have ever been reported.

We had successfully treated in such a case with partial esophagolysis and esophagomyotomy.
