Overview
Barrett's esophagus was first discovered by Dr. Norman Barrett, a Australian-born British surgeon at St Thomas' Hospital, in 1957.
Historical Perspective
The following are a few aspects about the historical perspective of Barrett's esophagus :
- Norman Barrett, in 1957, defined the esophagus as, ‘that part of the fore-gut, distal to the cricopharyngeal sphincter, which is lined by squamous epithelium’.[1]
- The columnar metaplasia of the esophagus is referred to as Barrett’s esophagus (BE).[2]
- Tileston, however, was the first to describe columnar metaplasia of the esophagus in 1906, as ‘peptic ulcer of the esophagus’.
