Abstract

We report on a three-year-old boy with Henoch-Schönlein purpura developing an esophageal stenosis during severe clinical course of this disease. There are to date no reports on the development of such a complication. The possible pathogenesis in relation to stricture formation of ileum and ureter in Henoch-Schönlein's purpura is discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten über einen dreijährigen Jungen, der infolge Purpura Schönlein-Henoch eine Ösophagusstenose entwickelte. Literaturberichte über ein derartiges Vorgehen existieren bis dato nicht. Die mögliche Pathogenese im Vergleich zu Stenosierungen im Dünndarm und Ureter bei der PSH wird besprochen.
