ABSTRACT
Esophagitis dissecans superficialis (EDS) is a rare but benign disease of the esophagus often identified endoscopically by sloughing of the superficial esophageal mucosa. We present an asymptomatic 66-year-old patient found to have EDS in the setting of Barrett's esophagus. The association of EDS with Barrett's esophagus has not been previously reported. He was initiated on proton pump inhibitor therapy with rapid and complete resolution of the endoscopic abnormality. This case illustrates the importance of identification of EDS as prognosis relies on prompt diagnosis and treatment.
