Plummer Vinson syndrome is a rare association of postcricoid dysphagia, upper esophageal webs, and iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency state has been hypothesized to play an etiological role. While literature review elucidates the resolution of dysphagia in most cases with iron therapy, we discuss our case where the dysphagia was resistant to such therapy and necessitated a mechanical dilatation.
普卢默-文森综合征是一种罕见的后环状软骨吞咽困难、食管上段蹼和缺铁性贫血的组合。缺铁状态被认为在病因学上起作用。虽然文献综述表明大多数缺铁治疗的病例吞咽困难得到缓解，但我们讨论的这个病例中，吞咽困难对这种治疗有抵抗性，需要进行机械扩张。
