The association between trisomy 17p syndrome, a rare chromosomal abnormality, and upper gastrointestinal stenosis is unclear.

| Summary: | Abstract Upper gastrointestinal stenosis, which can be congenital or acquired, can lead to dysphagia. The association between trisomy 17p syndrome, a rare chromosomal abnormality, and upper gastrointestinal stenosis is unclear. A 20‐year‐old man diagnosed with trisomy 17p syndrome was referred to our department due to recurrent vomiting. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed stenotic areas in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The congenital gastrointestinal stenosis present in both the duodenum and esophagus suggested that the stasis and reflux of digestive fluids exacerbated stenosis in the stomach and esophagus. Gastric acid suppression therapy and endoscopic dilation of the esophagus and duodenum effectively resolved the patient's vomiting symptoms. |
