Triple Lumen Esophagus; A Rare Congenital Anomaly Presenting with Dysphagia

Abstract

Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital malformations that can occur at any level of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract from mouth to anus. Triple lumen esophagus is even rarer occurrence and has not been reported previously according to our literature search. The diagnosis is often confused with esophageal tract duplication secondary to perforation or surgeries leading to Gastroesophageal 􀏐istula formation. A middle-aged female presented to us with an intermittent history of dysphagia and gastroesophageal re􀏐lux disease (GERD) and was diagnosed with a triple lumen esophagus radiographically, endoscopically which was con􀏐irmed and managed surgically.
