Introduction
Eosinophilic esophagitis is an underrecognized chronic condition where symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux are accompanied by eosinophilia in the esophagus (1). This disorder is associated with a history of other atopic disorders, particularly food allergies (1). Steakhouse syndrome is a condition in which food gets stuck in the esophagus (2). It is most common in older people and results from several etiologies: esophageal carcinoma, diverticulum, hiatal hernia, eosinophilic esophagitis, achalasia, esophageal spasm, and esophagogastric outflow obstruction (2). We herein present the case of a young male patient who presented with steakhouse syndrome and was found to have eosinophilic esophagitis. In this case, eosinophilic esophagitis was the leading cause of recurrent episodes of food impaction. With the right treatment, the patient’s condition resolved on repeat gastroscopy.
