| Abstract: | A 3-year-old boy who had an esophageal stricture with short-bowel syndrome is reported. The stricture was suspected to have resulted from severe gastroesophageal reflux (GER) induced by a gastrostomy performed for enteral nutrition. Twenty-four-hour intraesophageal pH monitoring demonstrated improvement of the GER after the release of the gastrostomy fixation. |
