Abstract
Certain esophageal diseases have a predilection for affecting different parts of the esophagus. This predilection is noted in our clinical practice as we investigate various esophageal diseases using multiple imaging and motility studies, as well as endoscopic procedures with biopsies. Clinical presentations vary with the stage and location of the disease. Clinicians can suspect certain diseases when a particular part of the esophagus is involved and then can perform appropriate investigations. Esophageal diseases with section involvement, with their symptomatology, diagnostic tests, and management, have been discussed in this narrative review. This review aims to revisit those diseases with a current update.
