Abstract

A 26-year-old male patient who presented to the otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic with hypopharynx ulcer was consulted to the gastroenterology outpatient clinic. He had been diagnosed as having hypopharynx ulcer 5 years before, and no etiology had yet been identified. No systemic disease was diagnosed with gastroscopy and colonoscopy. No other disease that might be the cause of hypopharynx ulcer was found. The patient was then diagnosed as having 'idiopathic hypopharynx ulcer', and corticosteroid therapy was started. The ulcer healed with this therapy. Hypopharynx is an area that is always explored during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and might be attacked by disease processes involving the gastrointestinal tract. All etiologic factors should be researched when a hypopharynx ulcer is seen, and it must be kept in mind that it may be idiopathic.

Abstract

26 yaşında erkek hasta yaklaşık 5 yıldır olan ve tüm tetkiklerle tanı konulup, tedavi edilemeyen hipofarinks ülserinin değerlendirilmesi amacı ile kulak boğaz burun kliniği tarafından konsülte edildi. Gastroskopisinde ve kolonoskopisinde gastrointestinal sitemi tutan bir hastalık saptanmadı. Tüm olası tanılar ekarte edildikten sonra idiopatik hipofarinks ülseri tanısı konarak, steroid tedavisi başlandı. Bu tedavi ile hastanın lezyonu tamamen iyileşti. Hipofarinks gastroskopi işleminde sürekli olarak gözlemlediğimiz ve oluşabilecek patolojilerin gastrointestinal sistem traktı ile devamlılık gösterebileceği bir bölgedir. Hipofarenks ülserlerinde etyolojik tüm nedenler ekarte edilmeli, idiopatik olarak oluşabileceği de akılda tutulmalıdır.
