  • Esophageal motility impairment in Plummer-Vinson Syndrome
    Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1993
    Co-Authors: Roberto O. Dantas, Marcia G. Villanova
    Abstract:

    We report the case of a 41-year-old woman with Plummer-Vinson Syndrome and an esophageal motility disorder. She complained of dysphagia and odynophagia and had cheilitis, glossitis, and hypochromic anemia. An esophageal motility study showed low amplitude of contraction and high intrabolus pressure in the esophageal body. After iron replacement, the patient was free from symptoms, and a new motility study showed increased amplitude of contraction and decreased intrabolus pressure.

  • Plummer-Vinson Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review
    Archives of internal medicine, 1995
    Co-Authors: Richard M. Hoffman, Philip E. Jaffe
    Abstract:

    The Plummer-Vinson Syndrome is characterized by dysphagia, iron-deficiency anemia, and esophageal webs. The webs are best diagnosed by cineradiography. Iron repletion often improves the dysphagia, although some patients require esophageal dilatation or bougienage. The Syndrome is associated with an increased incidence of postcricoid carcinoma, and surveillance endoscopy is recommended. (Arch Intern Med. 1995;155:2008-2011)

  • Plummer-Vinson Syndrome
    Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2006
    Co-Authors: Gottfried Novacek
    Abstract:

    Plummer-Vinson or Paterson-Kelly Syndrome presents as a classical triad of dysphagia, iron-deficiency anemia and esophageal webs. Exact data about epidemiology of the Syndrome are not available; the Syndrome is extremely rare. Most of the patients are white middle-aged women, in the fourth to seventh decade of life but the Syndrome has also been described in children and adolescents. The dysphagia is usually painless and intermittent or progressive over years, limited to solids and sometimes associated with weight loss. Symptoms resulting from anemia (weakness, pallor, fatigue, tachycardia) may dominate the clinical picture. Additional features are glossitis, angular cheilitis and koilonychia. Enlargement of the spleen and thyroid may also be observed. One of the most important clinical aspects of Plummer-Vinson Syndrome is the association with upper alimentary tract cancers. Etiopathogenesis of Plummer-Vinson Syndrome is unknown. The most important possible etiological factor is iron deficiency. Other possible factors include malnutrition, genetic predisposition or autoimmune processes. Plummer-Vinson Syndrome can be treated effectively with iron supplementation and mechanical dilation. In case of significant obstruction of the esophageal lumen by esophageal web and persistent dysphagia despite iron supplementation, rupture and dilation of the web are necessary. Since Plummer-Vinson Syndrome is associated with an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the pharynx and the esophagus, the patients should be followed closely.
