Mucosal bridge of the esophagus is a rare disease. We herein describe a case of reflux esophagitis with mucosal bridge formation. A 73-year-old female was admitted to the Kusama hospital with heart burn in November, 1997. The patient had been treated by HZ receptor antagonist for ref lux esophagitis for one year. Esophagoscopy showed several linear membranous disorders from the upper esophagus, and a mucosal bridge formation in the middle portion of the esophagus which separated completely the esophageal cavity. Based on these findings, she was diagnosed as esophageal mucosal bridge due to reflux esophagitis. After treatment using proton pump inhibitor for two weeks, mucosal bridge was markedly improved and almost normal esophageal mucosa covered the lesion with slightly scarring.
