Abstract：
:The main role of the esophagus is to facilitate passage of food from the mouth to the stomach. A number of conditions can alter esophageal structure or function including congenital anomalies, trauma, infection, and neoplasm. This article reviews the anatomy, imaging evaluation, and common problems seen in the pediatric thoracic esophagus.
