Esophagitis Dissecans Superficialis: Unveiling the Enigmatic Entity of Esophageal Mucosal Sloughing

Esophagitis dissecans superficialis (EDS), formerly referred to as sloughing esophagitis, is a degenerative condition affecting the squamous epithelium. EDS is known to be a benign condition that resolves on its own. The exact etiology of EDS remains unclear, although associations with medications l...

description Esophagitis dissecans superficialis (EDS), formerly referred to as sloughing esophagitis, is a degenerative condition affecting the squamous epithelium. EDS is known to be a benign condition that resolves on its own. The exact etiology of EDS remains unclear, although associations with medications like bisphosphonates or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, skin conditions, heavy smoking, and physical trauma have been reported. The clinical manifestations exhibit a wide range, encompassing both incidental findings and symptomatic presentations related to the esophagus. Here we present an interesting case of a middle-aged female patient with dysphagia who underwent early esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for timely identification and treatment of EDS, emphasizing the significance of early detection and management.
