In the epithelium with features of
reflux esophagitis, the height of connective tissue papillae was increased, and they appeared to be more prominent because of edema and vascular congestion (Figure 2, A).
Most benign strictures in the distal esophagus are caused by scarring from
reflux esophagitis. (28,31) These reflux-induced or so-called peptic strictures most commonly appear as discrete (1-4 cm in length) segments of smooth, tapered narrowing, almost always above a hiatal hernia (Figure 9B).

In addition to the marked reduction in gastroduodenal ulcers, esomeprazole therapy was associated with a steep decrease in the risk of developing

Because the histologic features of GERD are not specific, a number of histologic features must be assessed before a presumptive diagnosis of
reflux esophagitis can be made.
Less often, an enlarged gastric fold near the squamocolumnar junction, also called the sentinel fold, is seen in
reflux esophagitis. Inflammatory polyps should be differentiated from neoplasms by biopsy.
However, 1 small trial found a decreased rate of esophageal stricture recurrence at 1 year in patients with
reflux esophagitis (NNT =7) treated with 30-mg lansoprazole compared with those treated with 300-mg ranitidine.[37] These data seem to suggest that high-risk patients are more apt to benefit from PPIs than [H.sub.2]Bs.
This boy's murmur is an innocent one and his chest pain is due to
reflux esophagitis, a very common cause of chest pain.
The search strategy consisted of a combination of the following MESH terms and text words: (gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD, GORD,
reflux esophagitis, RE, non-erosive reflux disease, NERD, Barrett's esophagus, BE, erosive esophagitis, and EE); (Proton Pump Inhibitors, PPIs, omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, and esomeprazole); and (twice daily).
