Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux in young children is most commonly evaluated with gastroesophageal scintigraphy (milk scan); however, reflux may be incidentally identified on other nuclear medicine examinations. We report a case of gastroesophageal reflux extending to the upper esophagus incidentally detected on hepatobiliary scintigraphy performed for evaluation of suspected biliary dyskinesia in a 17-month-old boy.
