Aiyoo can’t make out the view… is that a retroflexed view of the fundus and gastro-oesophageal junction?

Ok this image was taken at 25cm from the incisor. What you see is a guide wire not the endoscope, thus an end-on view.

OIC … can’t make out the tumour but i guess it must be there somewhere.

Esophageal stricture?

Smart answer - because of the guide wire is it. Well partially correct I should say. Keep guessing!

nevermind if wrong, I will blame the poor resolution

Perhaps achalasia?

This is a case of oesophageal diverticulum with oesophageal stricture.

What was the cause of the stricture?

Awaiting results
