Introduction. Many studies have been devoted to the structural transformation of the intra-organ vascular bed of the alimentary canal at the stages of prenatal and early postnatal ontogenesis. Despite the large number of studies devoted to this problem, data on the peculiarities of morphogenesis and formation of the topography of the esophagus in the early stages of the prenatal period of human ontogenesis remain poorly studied and controversial. Chronologically, the dynamics of morphometric changes in the esophagus and topographic-anatomical relationships with adjacent organs and structures are not determined.
