Abstract
- Eosinophilic esophagitis is an important differential diagnosis in the presence of dysphagia or bolus obstruction of the esophagus. Delayed diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis can lead to strictures of the esophagus.We report on a young patient who presented with initially unclear retrosternal symptoms to our department. The diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis, complicated by an intramural abscess of the esophagus, was established. After spontaneous drainage of the abscess, antibiotic therapy and subsequent remission induction of eosinophilic esophagitis with orodispersible budesonide resulted in a good therapeutic outcome.<br />Competing Interests: Die Autorinnen/Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht.<br /> (Thieme.
