Abstract
The unique endoscopic finding of a double lumen esophagus due to the development of a fibrous septum within an area of peptic reflux esophagitis is presented. The pathogenesis of this septum was felt to represent adherence to granulation tissue from opposing esophageal walls. This abnormality was easily managed by esophageal bouginage.Entities:
