The role of the otolaryngologist in the evaluation and diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis

ConclusionPatients with EoE frequently present to otolaryngology undiagnosed in the first 5 years of life, making esophagoscopy with biopsy an important adjunct to airway endoscopy in children with refractory aerodigestive symptoms. Otolaryngologists are uniquely poised to facilitate early diagnosis and initiation of therapy for these children, potentially reducing long‐term sequelae. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2016
