What is esophageal wall thickening?

Esophageal wall thickening is generally caused by esophagitis, esophageal ulcer, esophageal leiomyoma and other reasons.

1. Esophagitis

If the patient has esophagitis, the inflammatory reaction stimulates the esophageal wall, resulting in esophageal wall damage, which will occur.

2. Esophageal ulcer

If the patient's esophagus has ulcer, the mucosal erosion will occur. With the gradual recovery of the disease, the erosive mucosal healing will occur, scar tissue will occur, and the esophageal wall thickness will increase.

3. Esophageal leiomyoma The

smooth muscle cells of the esophageal wall are stimulated, resulting in abnormal proliferation of cells, resulting in wall thickening in local areas of the esophagus, accompanied by dysphagia, chest pain and other symptoms.
