Barrett’s Oesophagus<br />
Barrett's oesophagus is a condition in which stratified<br />
squamous epithelium in the distal oesophagus is<br />
replaced by metaplastic columnar epithelium to a<br />
varying extent<br />
<strong>The</strong> condition develops as a consequence of chronic<br />
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD)<br />
It predisposes to the development of adenocarcinoma of<br />
the oesophagus
