Reflux Esophagitis (GERD)


  • Failure of gastroesophageal (cardiac) sphincter to act as a barrier
  • Often associated with hiatal hernia
  • Single contrast = Hazy, Bumpy border of esophagus

Reflux Esophagitis (GERD)


  • Failure of gastroesophageal (cardiac) sphincter to act as a barrier
  • Often associated with hiatal hernia
  • Double Contrast = Streaks or dots of barium on the mucosal lining of the distal esophagus filling defects caused by ulcerations in the lining & widening of longitudinal folds (edema)
  • Edema

Barrett's Esophagus


  • Severe reflux esophagitis causes the normal squamous lining of the esophagus to be destroyed and replaced with columnar epithelium (what lines the stomach)
  • Often becomes malignant
  • Smooth, tapered narrowing of distal esophagus (fibrotic healing)
  • Ulceration often in mid-esophagus and bumper border
