Plummer-Vinson Syndrome (PVS) is characterized by dysphagia, iron deficiency anemia, and esophageal web formation. We discuss the case of a 36-year-old woman from Pakistan who presented with dysphagia for approximately 10 years, cheilitis, and glossitis. Barium esophagram was consistent with a proximal esophageal web. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) found a cricopharyngeal stenosis requiring multiple dilations. Initial hemoglobin was 5.0 g/dL, mean corpuscular volume 51.6 fL, ferritin level 1 ng/mL, and iron level <10 μg/dL. She was diagnosed with PVS, treated with iron supplementation, and had resolution of symptoms and dysphagia.
普卢默-文森综合征(PVS)的特征为吞咽困难、缺铁性贫血和食管蹼形成。我们讨论了一名来自巴基斯坦的36岁女性病例,该患者有大约10年的吞咽困难、唇炎和舌炎症状。钡餐食管造影显示与近端食管蹼相符。食管胃十二指肠镜检查(EGD)发现环咽肌狭窄,需要多次扩张。初始血红蛋白为5.0 g/dL,平均红细胞体积51.6 fL,铁蛋白水平1 ng/mL,铁水平<10 μg/dL。她被诊断为PVS,接受了铁补充治疗,症状和吞咽困难得到缓解。
