|
The most common type of food-related foreign body in the esophagus is an impacted meat bolus. Acute esophageal obstruction upon eating poorly chewed meat has been called the "Steakhouse syndrome". A 69-year-old male patient visited the local medical center 2 years ago because of continuously aggravated anterior chest pain with solid and liquid dysphagia for 1 day. At that time,impacted meat like bolus was found in the distal esophagus through endoscopy. After removal of the meat with a polypectomy snare, neither stenosis nor mucosal lesion was noted. He experienced anterior chest pain and acid regurgitation for 2 months, after ceasing medication. The esophageal monometry and ambulatory 24 hr pH monitoring showed diffuse esophageal spasm. Herein, we report a case of diffuse esophageal spasm with a history of Steakhouse syndrome.
