So - if You are a health care professional just thinking of starting a career in endoscopy, please have a try - You might find it interesting!

This young man came to an upper endoscopy as he had felt some slight pain in his upper abdomen. The endoscopy was not quite easy as the patient reacted quite strongly to the examination. These images show the finding in the distal part of the oesophagus near the cardia, during a few short seconds. What is this finding?

Correct answer:

    Gastro-Oesophageal Prolapse, which is not an unusual finding when a patient reacts strongly to the examination and vomits.
