Barrett´s esophagus is an endoscopic diagnosis stablished when Intestinal Metaplasia is found histologically. We described the association of the type of Scamo columnar Junction (SCJ) described by Wallner et al and pit pattern (PP) classification by Toyoda et al suggestive of Intestinal Metaplasia using High Resolution endoscopy with Magnification and FICE. Salmon and red colored Tongues of columnar epithelium oriented to biopsy the esophagus. SCJ type GII was found in 45,09% and T3 PP in 60,86% of GII and 87,6% of GIII. Our results showed that type o SCJ helps and alert of the presence of Intestinal Metaplasia.
