In the submitted case-history the authors describe the case of a child operated after delivery on account of oesophageal atresia type Vogt IIIb. After a two-year interval the child returned on account of acute dysphagia and endoscopy revealed oesophageal stenosis caused by a mucosal strangulating bridge. The latter was removed endoscopically and during a check-up examination 6 months later the endoscopic picture was negative.
