“…Benign esophagus stenosis is generally associated to secondary chronic esophagitis, mainly to gastroesophageal reflux disease, with or without hiatal hernia 3,4,16,20,26 . However, several authors reported since the beginning of last century, cases of esophageal stenosis caused by prolonged use of NGI in clinical and surgical patients 6,11,12,21 .…”

“…The nasogastric probe interferes with the physiological barrier against gastroesophageal reflux, while keeping open the lower esophageal sphincter and aligning the esophageal-gastric junction 4,5,7,8 . Pre-existing predisposing factors also contribute, such as hiatal hernia or gastroesophageal reflux disease 4,16,21 . Another point to consider is that these patients usually remain lying in bed, thus facilitating the return of stomach contents into the esophagus 1 .…”

“…Experimental and clinical studies have documented that the presence of any tube in the gastroesophageal junction promotes reflux of gastric secretions (34,67). Patients with a nasogastric tube in place for a prolonged time and who are kept generally in a recumbent position are particularly prone to develop severe peptic esophagitis (67)(68)(69). This may further lead to formation of long strictures involving the distal third or half of the esophagus (Fig.…”

Between 1982 and 1989, 78 children with diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) were referred to this hospital. Most presented with abdominal pain, bloody diarrhoea and vomiting. Seven had severe gastrointestinal involvement, four of whom required resection for bowel perforation or necrosis. One also developed an oesophageal stricture, a previously unreported complication of HUS. These seven children had a high incidence of other complications including hypertension, and cerebral and pancreatic involvement. One died from severe cerebral involvement, one has a residual neurological deficit and one has residual renal impairment. Severe gastrointestinal involvement did not significantly affect the long-term outcome. Simple haematological indices helped predict severe gut involvement. Four of the 78 children had undergone appendicectomy before the diagnosis of HUS was made. The operative findings were in no case typical of primary acute appendicitis, although histological examination did confirm inflammation of the appendix in two patients. Diagnosis is difficult in early disease, but increased awareness may help prevent unnecessary appendicectomy.
