Correct Answer: acde
Description: Diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus
- The diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus is suspected on endoscopy when there is difficulty in visualizing the squamo-columnar junction at its normal location and by the appearance of pink, more luxuriant columnar mucosa in the lower esophagus instead of gray-pink squamous mucosa.
- the diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy.
Strictures in Barrett's esophagus occur at the squamo-columnar junction and move high up as the squamo-columnar junction moves up with progressive injury.
