A Case of Plummer-Vinson Syndrome in an Omani Woman.
Curēus 2023 June
Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) is the triad of iron-deficiency anemia, esophageal webs and dysphagia. This article discusses the first reported case of PVS from Oman. A female patient in her 40s presented with a one-year history of dysphagia and odynophagia and a known background of untreated iron-deficiency anemia. After an elaborate workup, a diagnosis of PVS was made following visualization of the esophageal web with barium swallow study and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). A prompt and accurate diagnosis of PVS, although rare, is crucial, given that it is, at times, a precancerous condition. The treatment with iron therapy is the cornerstone of management, and it corrects the anemia as well as the dysphagia. If dysphagia persists, endoscopic dilation can be carried out.
