Two hundred cases of cancer of the esophagus are reviewed. Radiological and endoscopic finding were comparatively evaluated: There were 84% of positive radiological diagnosis, 12,5% highly suspicious and 3,5% negative; the latter were seven cases with the following diagnosis: three megaesophagus, one segmental spasm, esophagitis and hernia, extrinsic compression and normal esophagus, respectively. There were 94,5% of positive; 3,5% doubtful and 2% negative endoscopic diagnosis. There were 94% of positive biopsies and 6% negative. It is emphasized: 1o.) the high percentage of positive histological diagnosis and 2o.) in 3,5% of patients, cancer was found by routine endoscopic examinations.

The authors report a series of 8 cases of idiopathic Megaesophagus in the child. Age distribution is between 5 and 15 years: 4 boys and 4 girls. Clinical signs are dominated by dyphagia and thinness. Heller's operation modificated by J.L. Lortat-Jacob and completed by reconstitution of His's angle, via an abdominal approach, is the operation proposed. No recurrence of Megaesophagus was seen. However, in two cases, a hernia of mucosa occurred, without any clinical symptom. Long term results were favourable (follow up between 7 years and 10 months).

A 6-month-old domestic shorthair female cat was presented with suspected diaphragmatic hernia (DH) that was later confirmed by thoracic radiography. The cat underwent exploratory celiotomy with a diaphragmatic rupture (DR) repair and recovered. Six days later, it was represented with vomiting and anorexia. Megaoesophagus (MO) and gastric dilatation were diagnosed by contrast radiography. A second celiotomy revealed no abnormalities and gastropexy was performed. Endoscopy demonstrated MO, oesophagitis and gastro-oesophageal reflux. MO persisted for several weeks and was an unexpected complication as no association between DR (or DH) and MO has never been described in the veterinary literature. The cat was treated medically with aggressive prokinetic and antacid therapy along with prolonged temporary oesophageal diversion (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube) with an excellent outcome.
