Son Recently Had Aspiration Pneumonia While Undergoing An ECT Treatment
Question: son recently had aspiration pneumonia while undergoing an ECT treatment for depression. Imaging showed a thickened esophagus. A few days later he became very hoarse. Endoscopy on Tuesday. What can we expect
Brief Answer:
That depends on his age
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I can understand your concerns,
That depends on his age. If he is relatively young, it is most likely something benign, e.g. inflammation or achalasia. If he is older than 50 years of age, malignancy should be ruled out.
Hope this helps.
