Acute EsophagitisCategory: DISEASES OF THE ESOPHAGUS Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery This is usually of traumatic or cauterant origin. If severe or extensive, all the symptoms described under Rupture of the Esophagus may be present. The endoscopic appearances are unmistakable to anyone familiar with the appearance of mucosal inflammations. The pale, bluish pink color of the normal mucosa is replaced by a deep-red velvety swollen appearance in which individual vessels are invisible. After exudation of serum into the tissues, the color may be paler and in some instances a typical edema may be seen. This may diminish the lumen temporarily. Folds of swollen mucosa crowd into the lumen if the inflammation is intense. These folds are sometimes demonstrable in the roentgenogram by the bismuth or barium in the creases between which the prominence of the folds show as islands as beautifully demonstrated by David R. Bowen in one of the author's cases. If the inflammation is due to corrosives, a grayish exudate may be visible early, sloughs later.
