Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Tracheobronchial remnant (TBR), one of the causes of congenital oesophageal stenosis (COS), is a rare anomaly, the treatment of which is hampered by the lack of well-established therapeutic strategies. A definite diagnosis of TBR can be made only by histopathological examination of the resected segment. A 10-month-old girl was admitted to a district hospital due to dysphagia, intolerance of solid food, and regurgitation. The patient was referred to our hospital for continuation of the treatment. She underwent a laparotomy, segmental resection of the oesophageal narrowing, end-to-end anastomosis, and anterior fundoplication. Surgical excision of the stricture is the only effective treatment of a patient with TBR.
