Epidermolysis Bullosa: Management of Esophageal Strictures and Enteric Access by Gastrostomy - 05/08/11
Resumen |
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a spectrum of rare, inherited, blistering skin disorders, primarily affecting the skin and pharyngoesophageal mucosa. EB affects approximately 2 to 4 per 100,000 children each year. Blistering and scarring occur in response to even the most minor trauma. In this article, the authors outline the potential management options for patients with EB complicated by feeding difficulties secondary to esophageal strictures as well as those with nutritional deficiencies requiring a gastrostomy tube for supplemental feeding.
