The forgotten part of the examination#




A 57-year-old man presented with persistent epigastric pain was admitted to our GI unit. Upper digestive endoscopy revealed pangastric erythematous mottling more antral. Biopsy and histopathological examination of these inflammations revealed H pylori gastritis#.

The endoscopist accidentally discovered two esophageal inlet patches# (salmon pink gastric mucosa) in the cervical esophagus.

As regards the upper esophagus, it is rarely scrutinized during upper GI endoscopy; it may be due to the esophagus is blindly intubated. During withdrawal of the scope, it is rapidly withdrawn (believes that this site is free, the use of conscious sedation not permitting the endoscopist to examine this area comfortably, or it is related to ENT examination).
