Esophagitis (or oesophagitis) is inflammation of the esophagus. It may be acute or chronic. Acute esophagitis can be catarrhal or phlegmonous, whereas chronic esophagitis may be hypertrophic or atrophic.
Symptoms
Heartburn (pain in chest/abdomen, which may radiate to neck/jaw)
Symptoms may be relieved by antacids.

Endoscopy can be used to distinguish among these conditions.
Other
The most common cause is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, or GORD in Standard English). If caused by GERD, the disease is also called reflux esophagitis.
