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]
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease[2]
- Caustic ingestions[3]
- Radiation therapy for thoracic or head and neck tumors[4]
- Esophageal cancer
- Congenital causes such as rings and webs[5]
- Nasogastric intubation[6]
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of esophageal stricture include:
- Dyskeratosis congenita (DC)[9]
- Rare dermatologic diseases (eg, epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica)[10]
- Mediastinal fibrosis due to tuberculosis or idiopathic fibrosing mediastinitis[11]
- Drug-induced stricture:[12]
- Aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications[13]
- Tetracycline
- Doxycycline
- Clindamycin
- Bisphosphonates
- Potassium chloride
- Quinidine preparations
- Iron compounds
- Emepronium
- Alprenolol
- Pinaverium
- Tracheoesophageal fistula repair and esophageal stricture at the anastomosis[15]
- Esophageal diverticula[16]
- Increased level of gastric acid exposure to esophageal tissue, for example:
