    Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a clinicopathological condition. In addition to drugs and diets, dilation is an established treatment modality. Although the procedure was once considered risky, results from a new study add to the evidence that oesophageal dilation can be considered a safe and effective intervention to relieve dysphagia, the primary symptom of EoE.
