CTICasesCandida Esophagitis Stricture
Imaging findings
Barium esophagram shows fixed narrowing and a shaggy mucosal appearance in the distal esophagus above the vestibule. CT shows barium stasis and fluid in the esophagus. Endoscopy confirmed severe Candida esophagitis with a benign stricture.
Key takeaways
Severe Candida esophagitis can cause mucosal sloughing, ulceration, and eventually lead to benign esophageal strictures (typically in the distal third), which present as a fixed stenosis on esophagrams.
