Peptic strictures of the esophagus.
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America 1999 December
Peptic esophageal strictures occur in the context of inadequately treated gastroesophageal reflux, especially in elderly patients. Studies show more pronounced abnormalities of esophageal function resulting in an increased number of prolonged reflux episodes. The diagnosis is best made by a combination of barium esophagram and endoscopy. Patients usually require esophageal dilation to relieve dysphagia followed by adequate medical therapy. Proton pump inhibitors are effective for preventing the recurrence of strictures after dilation. In young patients and patients with strictures that are difficult to dilate or need frequent dilations, surgery may be required; however, results can be disappointing.
