Overview

Common causes of esophageal stricture include gastroesophageal reflux disease and caustic ingestions.

Causes

Life-threatening Causes

  • Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of esophageal stricture, however complications resulting from untreated esophageal stricture is common.

Common Causes

Esophageal stricture may be caused by:[1]

Less Common Causes
