Core Tip	Dysphagia is frequently seen in patients with repaired esophageal atresia (EA). It has been attributed to recurrent strictures, poor esophageal motility and persistent gastroesophageal reflux disease. Anastomitic strictures are common after repair of a gap that is greater than 2.5 cm contributing to this complication. The pathophysiology of later onset dysphagia is not well defined. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has been reported to play a role in the reoccurrence of strictures in patients with EA. It is very likely that if these patients are treated for EoE early in the course of the disease, stricture formation might be prevented.
