In order to define the evolution of airway invasion by esophageal cancer, we reviewed 53 patients presenting with (group A) or without (group B) tracheoesophageal fistulae. Patients in group A were treated by esophageal bypass (4), esophageal diversion (4), expectant therapy (4), or esophageal prosthesis (1). The median survival was 4 months. Group B patients were treated by esophageal resectio...
Tracheal penetration of esophageal self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) with/without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) formation is a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 66-year-old female patient with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who had undergone palliative esophageal stenting on three occasions for recurrent esophageal stent obstruction. On evaluation of symptoms of breath...
High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the primary method used to evaluate esophageal motor function. Displayed and interpreted by esophageal pressure topography (EPT), HRM/ EPT provides a detailed assessment of esophageal function that is useful in the evaluation of patients with nonobstructive dysphagia and before foregut surgery. Esophageal motility diagnoses are determined systematically by app...
Cervical esophageal duplication cysts are uncommon congenital malformations, and those with air-fluid level are rarely reported. We describe here a case of cervicothoracic esophageal duplication cyst manifesting air-fluid level on Computed Tomography (CT) in a 6-month-old girl. The preoperative diagnosis was suspected as esophageal duplication or abscess. The postoperative pathological diagnosi...
BACKGROUND & AIMS Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a condition frequently associated with esophagitis and motor abnormalities. Recent evidence suggests that proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6, may be implicated because they reduce esophageal muscle contractility, but these results derive from in vitro or animal models of esophagitis. This study used human esoph...
Introduction: Cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption have a well-known effect on the development of upper aerodigestive tract carcinomas, but such a role for opium is questionable. This study was designed to assess the correlation between opium inhalation and cancer of the larynx and upper esophagus. Materials and Methods: Fifty eight patients with laryngeal cancer, ninety eight patients wit...
Background The esophageal atresia (EA) is the most common esophageal congenital anomaly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive factors in the survival of newborns with esophageal atresia. Materials and Methods This was a descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study performed on newborns with esophageal atresia wh...
Brain metastasis from esophageal carcinoma is rare. In our center, among 301 cases of esophageal cancer referred for radiotherapy during a 14-year period, brain metastasis from esophageal carcinoma was detected in one case. An unusual case of esophageal carcinoma that presented with brain metastasis is reported.
The incidence of esophageal cancer, in particular esophageal adenocarcinoma, is increasing, largely due to an increase in risk factors for adenocarcinoma. When esophageal cancer is confirmed by upper endoscopy, staging is required for the optimal selection of patients who should undergo esophageal resection. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation may be able to improve survival after esophageal cancer surg...
This paper presents a novel method of enhancing esophageal speech using statistical voice conversion. Esophageal speech is one of the alternative speaking methods for laryngectomees. Although it doesn’t require any external devices, generated voices usually sound unnatural compared with normal speech. To improve the intelligibility and naturalness of esophageal speech, we propose a voice conver...
