👉 Esophagectasia is a condition in which the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach, becomes narrowed or blocked. This can occur due to various factors such as smoking, alcohol abuse, certain medications, or even trauma. The narrowing of the esophagus can cause symptoms such as chest pain or discomfort, difficulty swallowing, and a sensation of fullness in the throat. In severe cases, esophagectasia may require surgery to repair the blocked area.
