Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly rare in the esophagus. Both symptomatology and findings during preoperative examinations are non-specific and therefore do not often lead to an accurate diagnosis, which is usually revealed only by histopathological assessment of a resected specimen. We report an unusual case of a patient suffering from severe dysphagia caused by heterotopic pancreas in the distal esophagus with chronic inflammation and foci of premalignant changes. This article also reviews 14 adult cases of heterotopic pancreas in the esophagus previously reported in the literature, with the aim of determining the clinical features of this disease and possible complications including rare premalignant lesions and malignant transformation. Especially with regard to those complications, we suggest that both symptomatic and incidentally found asymptomatic lesions should be resected.

Medullary Infarction

Medial medullary infarction (MMI) is a vascular occlusion in the medulla oblongata leading to certain constellations of neurological symptoms and seriously affecting the patient. Effective evidence-based treatment of severe dysphagia as sole symptom of MMI has not yet been reported. This case study aims to report successful effects of evidence-based therapy based on findings of dysphagia symptoms and pathophysiology of swallowing by flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) in severe isolated dysphagia after MMI. FEES was performed to evaluate swallowing pathophysiology and dysphagia symptoms in a 57-year-old male with severe dysphagia after MMI. On the basis of FEES findings, simple and high-frequent evidence-based exercises for improvement of swallowing were implemented: thermal stimulation of faucial arches, Jaw Opening Exercise, and Jaw Opening Against Resistance. After 7 weeks of high-frequent evidence-based therapy and regular FEES evaluation the patient was set on full oral diet with no evidence of aspiration risk. In a first case report of isolated dysphagia in MMI our case illustrates that high-frequent evidence-based dysphagia therapy in combination with FEES as the method to evaluate and monitor swallowing pathophysiology can lead to successful and quick rehabilitation of severely affected dysphagic patients.
