FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 1.
A) Barium esophagram showing complete esophageal obstruction. B) EGD showing significant trachealization, esophageal structuring, and an ibuprofen pill impaction. C) Barium esophagram showing stricture extending the length of the esophagus postpill extraction. EGD = esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 2.
A) EGD showing an esophageal perforation postesophageal dilation. B) Fluoroscopy confirming a contained leak, without evidence of a pneumomediastinum. C) Repeat esophagram 4 days postprocedure revealing a contained leak. EGD = esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

FIGURE 3.
A) Healed mucosa; small diverticulum with an epithelized base at the site of her prior leak. B) Healed mucosa; scar from the dilation-induced mucosal tear.
