| Grade B | One or more mucosal breaks > 5mm, but without continuity across mucosal folds |
| Grade C | Mucosal breaks continuous between > 2 mucosal folds, but involving less than 75% of the esophageal circumference |
| Grade D | Mucosal breaks involving more than 75% of esophageal circumference |
