A 51-year-old man presented to the Center for Voice and Swallowing complaining of solid-food dysphagia and pyrosis. Transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) revealed a narrow midesophageal stricture (figure, A). Because the 5.1-mm endoscope could not be passed through the narrowed lumen, the patient underwent unsedated balloon dilation over a guide wire to 15 mm under TNE guidance (figure, B). After dilation, the squamocolumnar junction could be seen in the proximal esophagus, indicating the presence of Barrett's metaplasia (figure, C). Biopsy of the distal esophageal mucosa revealed long-segment Barrett's metaplasia with high-grade dysplasia up to the level of the stricture.
