Acute exacerbation of dysphagia due to foreign body impaction in an oesophageal stricture due to eosinophilic esophagitis.
BMJ case reports(2015)
Abstract
A 43-year woman with a 4-year history of swallowing difficulty for solids presented with absolute dysphagia, which was only slightly relieved by intravenous relaxant given in the emergency department. Barium swallow showed a smooth polypoid filling defect in the mid-oesophagus, with a hold-up at this level. Gastroscopy showed a narrowed ringed oesophagus with an impacted foreign body. This was extracted with a basket, with relief of the dysphagia. Oesophageal biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis.
